ELIZABETHTOWN, PA (10/02/2014)(readMedia)-- With Ukrainian soldiers being lost to tank fire and many more wounded each day in the midst of gun battle, the 2014 Elizabethtown College Ware Seminar is a timely discussion.

"The Ukrainian Conflict: A New World Order?" with Dr. Craig Nation takes place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15, in the College's Gibble Auditorium.

Nation, professor of strategy and director of Russian and Eurasian studies at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, shares insights on the escalating conflict in the Ukraine and Russia's role in our post-Cold War era. He specializes in foreign policy and security affairs in post-Soviet Eurasia and also has offered courses as an adjunct professor at Elizabethtown College since 2002.

Joining in the discussion are Elizabethtown College faculty members Dr. Dmitriy Krichevskiy, who was born in the Soviet Union but sought refuge in the United States after the Soviet Union dissolved, and Dr. Anya Goldina, who was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States with her family after the Soviet Union dissolved.

The free Ware Seminar is sponsored by the Judy S. '68 and Paul W. Ware Colloquium on Peacemaking and Global Citizenship and Elizabethtown College's Center for Global Understanding and Peacemaking.
