An in-person 'in conversation' event featuring Dr Svitlana Khyliuk (Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine) and Dr David Kenny (TCD), organised by the School of Law in association with the Trinity Long Room Hub.

Ukraine’s constitutional structures have regularly been revised since its independence. While it was already moving on a path towards closer association with Europe, new urgency for progressing EU membership presents a significant challenge for Ukraine to bring its laws, governance structures, and judiciary in line with highest international standards, including in the field of human rights protections. In this discussion, Dr Svitlana Khyliuk from the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine will speak to Dr David Kenny about Ukraine’s possible constitutional futures after the war; the challenges of aligning Ukraine’s legal system with that of the EU; Ukraine’s identity and its place in Europe; and the ongoing war and how it impacts on her work.

Dr Svitlana Khyliuk is an associate professor and director of the law school at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. Dr. Khyliuk has been a legal expert in the projects of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Project Coordinator in Ukraine, the Council of Europe, and the U.S. Department of Justice in relation to projects in Ukraine. She is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Ukraine’s Supreme Court and Constitutional Court. She teaches Criminal law and Law of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Dr David Kenny is an Associate Professor of Law and Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, teaching and researching Irish and comparative constitutional law and law and literature. He has been involved with various constitutional reform processes in Ireland, giving evidence to, amongst other bodies, the Citizens' Assembly and Oireachtas Committee on the 8th amendment.

When we look forward to possible technological futures, we often do so from the perspective of a very foreshortened present. But what does it mean to think about the future of large technological systems in a much deeper timescale? In their work at the School of Cybernetics at the Australian National University (ANU), Genevieve Bell and her colleagues became fascinated with an early technological project – the Australian Overland Telegraph of 1872 – which in turn is embedded within a landscape that challenges any sense of measurable historical time. Over the past few years, Genevieve and her colleague, photographer Andrew Meares, have put together a remarkable photographic record of their engagement with this unique site from which it is possible to re-imagine our understanding of the relations of technology, humans and the environment. In “Technology’s Deep Time”, Genevieve and Andrew discuss their project with Chris Morash, who accompanied them into the Outback in 2022.

Genevieve Bell is the Director of the School of Cybernetics, Florence Violet McKenzie Chair, and a Distinguished Professor at the Australian National University (ANU) as well as a Vice President and Senior Fellow at Intel Corporation. She is a cultural anthropologist, technologist and futurist best known for her work at the intersection of cultural practice and technology development.

Andrew Meares is the Cybernetic Futures Lead at the School of Cybernetics at the Australian National University (ANU). Andrew began work as a press photographer in 1991, and was made chief photographer of the Sydney Morning Herald in 1998. He has covered politics, protests and portraits to bushfires, coups and war zones, won a Walkey Award for Best Online Journalism in 2010 and curated the Australian Cybernetic 2022 exhibition.

Chris Morash is the Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing at TCD. He has published widely on Irish literature and culture, and recent books include Yeats on Theatre (2021) and Dublin: A Writer’s City (2023). He has also published on media history in Ireland and contributed an article on the transatlantic telegraph to Entanglement, Ireland’s entry in the Venice Biennale.
