While everyday high level practices have become an important area of study, the everyday of the every(wo)man has been overlooked both in foreign policy analysis. Following the feminist call to liberate international relations from the straitjacket of high politics, the public seminar contextualizes foreign policy within daily practices of regular citizens, who have their own motivation behind reposting memes, eating a certain kind of cheese or shaming women for their dating preferences. In her forthcoming book, Elizaveta Gaufman focuses on Russian grass roots foreign policy after the annexation of Crimea, zeroing in on the fetishization of Putin, militarization, sanctions, Russian-Turkish and Russian-American relations, FIFA World Cup and the COVID-19 pandemic.
