 sa Sundstrom presents a working paper titled\, "Unpacking ‘Traditional Valu
 es’ in Russia’s Conservative Turn: Gender\, Sexuality\, and the Soviet Lega
 cy" at our Comparative-Canadian Colloquium.</h4><p>To better understand Rus
 sia’s conservative turn\, this article argues for analytically separating t
 he intersecting structures of gender and sexuality\, differentiating the de
 gree of sexism and LGBTQ-phobia\, and taking seriously the Soviet legacy. D
 rawing upon original data from state discourse (Putin’s annual speeches to 
 domestic audiences\, 1999-2020) and Russian public opinion (2021)\, we iden
 tify a somewhat conservative trend regarding women’s rights\, and a far mor
 e conservative one on LGBTQ+ rights. We find that Putin’s speeches and publ
 ic opinion on these topics echo Soviet approaches\, suggesting that the con
 servative ‘turn’ amounts more to a ‘return’ than to a novel development und
 er Putin.</p><p>This event will be held in-person and remotely via Zoom.</p
