On 20 November, Eva Marhileviča, Research Assistant at the LAC Institute of Arts and Cultural Studies, participated remotely in the international conference “Culture Studies and Social Communications: Innovative Development Strategies” organised by the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture.

In the section “Current Issues in Audiovisual Culture and Media Communications,” she delivered a presentation entitled “Preparing for War: How Latvian State Media Shape Discourse on Universal Conscription and National Defence Training.” The paper examined how the discourse surrounding the State Defence Service has evolved over time within Latvian public media, with particular attention to the dimensions of freedom and calculation in its framing.
