DOC to WATCH:

Period. End of Sentence.

A documentary short film directed by Rayka Zehtabchi is about Indian women leading a quiet sexual revolution. The documentary short follows a group of local women in Hapur, India, as they learn how to operate a machine that makes low-cost, biodegradable sanitary pads, which they sell to other women at affordable prices. This not only helps to improve feminine hygiene by providing access to basic products, but also supports and empowers the women to shed the taboos in India surrounding menstruation–all while contributing to the economic future of their community. The film is inspired from the life of Muruganantham, a social activist from Tamil Nadu, India. Period. End of Sentence. was the winner of the Best Documentary Short award at the 2019 Oscars.

NEW BOOK BY SCWA DIRECTOR JACEK LUBECKI

Dr. Jacek Lubecki discusses his new book Defense Politics of East-Central European Countries after 1989: Creating Stability in a Time of Uncertainty

The 2014 Ukrainian-Crimean crisis has raised serious questions in the West about Russian motivations and future policy directions. Now more than ever, it is imperative to explore the defensive perceptions, reactions, and preparations of neighbouring countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Is there a convergence of their approaches along similar paths, or do their different cultures and historical experiences prefigure a divergence of their defense policies? While Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic all seem to have little concern about Russia’s policies in Ukraine, the Polish response has been uniquely strong and militarized. Dr. Lubecki’s book explores reasons for the different responses to the crisis.

Dr. Jacek Lubecki is Associate Professor of Political Science and International Studies at Georgia Southern University. His publications include “Echoes of Latifundism” (Eastern European Politics and Societies, winter 2004), “Poland in Iraq” (The Polish Review, summer 2005), “Reconstructing Galicia” (Europe-Asia Studies, 2010), and “Józef Piłsudski’s Influence on Polish Armed Forces of the Interwar Period” (The Polish Review, 2011).
