21: Christianity in American Politics

Dr. Nadia Kizenko joins Ariana Hones (MDiv '25) in conversation to discuss Kizenko's research on Orthodox liturgy in Ukraine. The conversation is twofold. First, Kizenko explores the liturgical practices of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. She discusses how these two competing churches, both which can claim canonical status, respond liturgically in times of crisis. Second, Kizenko speaks about her most recent project creating a vesper service and how liturgy functions as a means to include or exclude different identities. Throughout the conversation, Kizenko makes the case for paying close attention to liturgy and the ways in which Orthodox tradition across time provides elements of subversion for its participants.

'Britain, Ireland and Europe: where we are and where we’re going'

The United Kingdom’s relations with its neighbour have been in some flux since British voters voted to leave the European Union in 2016. The protracted upheaval of Brexit strained relations with both Ireland and the EU, and a new, fully stable equilibrium has yet to emerge. Sir Ivan Rogers - advisor to two British prime ministers, among numerous other roles - will discuss the current and future state of the UK’s relations with its neighbours and how relations might change after the upcoming British general election. He will also assess the security implications for Britain and Europe of Russia’s war with Ukraine.

About the Speaker

Sir Ivan Rogers has spent most of his career to date in the British civil servant and foreign corps. He has advised two British Prime Ministers (Tony Blair and David Cameron), one Chancellor of the Exchequer (Ken Clark), and served as Chief of Staff in Brussels to a European Commissioner (Leon Brittan). He has also held senior positions in the private sector. Since resigning as the UK’s Permanent Representative to the EU in 2017, he has been one of the leading public analysts of Brexit and related matters.

Investing in a Sustainable Future for All

On 28 March 2019, the European Court of Justice annulled the Commission’s decision that the German law on renewable energy (EEG 2012) involved State aid. This annulment, in turn, has cast similar support schemes previously deemed State aid in a contentious light. What was the Court’s reasoning, and what does this ruling mean for the development of case law in State aid? In this podcast, Dr Max Klasse of Blomstein discusses the background to the case and what led to this decision before considering the implications of the judgment, and how it may reframe the criteria that constitutes State aid.
