Linda Norris offered insights on what we can learn from our colleagues in Ukraine as they mobilize to protect people and institutions. Norris will also suggest ways that all of us can be useful to our Ukrainian colleagues as they undertake this work in the most difficult of circumstances — literally under military attack.

Norris completed a Fulbright scholarship in Ukraine and for 13 years has returned periodically to teach at universities, facilitate workshops all over the country and work on special projects including the co-authorship of a 2017 report on Ukraine’s cultural heritage. She has just returned from the Czech Republic and has gained additional perspectives on the deep engagement of Eastern European museums with Ukraine.
