Abstract

As Taras Dobko, Rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) shared at the 2025 Ukrainian Studies Hub Conference, hope is strength “born of the marriage between magnanimity and humility.” To believe in hope is to be on a mission.

Our research project is a mission. Together, we aim to explore the complexities and nuances of how Ukrainian educators’ have both nurtured and enacted hope during the past 3.5 years of living within a genocidal war. For those of
us who live and work in places and spaces of relative peace and privilege, there is much to be learned from our Ukrainian colleagues who so bravely “wake each day to depredation, devastation, isolation, exhaustion, and fatigue”
(Kenworthy et al., 2025a) and yet draw upon hope to move forward with dignity, respect, and a passionate embracing of their roles as educators and global citizens.
