The accessibility to the journal is limited due to its publication in French only; therefore, Dr. Abakunova will provide a brief overview of each article and introduce the Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian authors who contributed to the journal and Ukrainian Roma whose interviews were published in the journal, including of those who are internally replaced or took refuge in other countries. Finally, Anna will discuss the current situation of Romani Studies in Ukraine and how the war conditions impact research.
