 Started in 2012 at the University of Illinois at Chicago, this annual event has a new topic every year. The 2024 theme is "Women, Innovation, and the Making of Modernity." Modernity is conventionally aligned with the movement of time’s arrow: concepts of progress, development, discovery, and innovation all point inexorably forward and promise societal and even biological betterment. In the annals of history, men predominate as primary drivers of scientific discovery and literary experimentation, both of which are often instrumentalized to aid progress and its discursive construction. This year’s Workshop on Russian & Eurasian Modernisms examines women's cutlural innovations that complement, problematize, and/or challenge narratives of modernity as a male-driven phenomenon.
