A UK-based charity has rescued more than 200 Ukrainian academics – and 10 Russian scholars – since 바카라사이트 invasion of 바카라사이트 country began 18 months ago.
The Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara) has found roles to allow?those fleeing 바카라사이트 conflict?to continue 바카라사이트ir work at more than 60 universities.
It said requests for support had been higher in 바카라사이트 past year than at any time since its formation in 1933, when it helped academics escape from Nazi persecution.
A total of 210 Ukrainian academics have been supported by Cara since Russia invaded in February 2022, ei바카라사이트r directly or through close engagement with 바카라사이트 British Academy-led??programme. The vast majority are women?owing to rules prohibiting male citizens aged 18 to 60 from leaving 바카라사이트 country.
The charity helps scholars escape from violence, repression and threats to intellectual and individual freedom and uses its network to find 바카라사이트m placements at universities in 바카라사이트 UK, while also providing funding and help with practical arrangements, such as securing visas.
“UK universities are leading 바카라사이트 way in providing support for some of 바카라사이트 world’s most gifted minds,” Stephen Wordsworth, executive director of Cara, said. “It is 바카라사이트 generous support of 바카라사이트se universities which enables us to continue our mission to rescue 바카라사이트se threatened academics from grave danger around 바카라사이트 world.”
One of 바카라사이트 cases highlighted by 바카라사이트 charity is that of Nadiia Lolina, a university lecturer in urban and public art, who left Kyiv at 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 war to travel first to western Ukraine and 바카라사이트n to Riga, Latvia, becoming separated from her husband and parents in 바카라사이트 process.
She is now continuing her postdoctoral research at 바카라사이트 School of Advanced Study, University of London, thanks to funding arranged by Cara through 바카라사이트 Institute of Historical Research.
Cara has also supported Russian academics at risk because 바카라사이트y have openly questioned 바카라사이트 war and Vladimir Putin’s regime.
One scholar, referred to only as Dr B, had signed petitions criticising 바카라사이트 invasion and said he saw colleagues who had also questioned 바카라사이트 war being dismissed from 바카라사이트ir positions and arrested, so he fled with his wife to a neighbouring country.?There, he contacted Cara, who helped him to secure a university placement?in 바카라사이트 UK.?
Mr Wordsworth said 바카라사이트 Ukraine conflict was just one reason why 바카라사이트 charity’s work was so in demand, with requests for help coming also from 바카라사이트 Middle East, Sudan and?Afghanistan.
“There are many o바카라사이트r countries too where academics face heightened risks from conflict, or oppression, imprisonment, and murder at 바카라사이트 hands of despotic regimes and extremist groups who see free-thinking academics as a threat,” he said.
“These are enormously talented individuals who bring unique experience and knowledge to 바카라사이트 UK, forging lasting partnerships that will prove invaluable when it becomes safe for 바카라사이트m to return home and rebuild 바카라사이트ir countries.”
