Support for scholarly research activities is a major focus of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. The Institute provides office space, technical facilities, and access to Harvard's unique resources to researchers -- including HURI Associates at Harvard and other area institutions and Visiting Scholars from throughout the US and foreign countries, with an increasing number from Ukraine. The Institute has sponsored a number of major research projects, including the first exhaustive study of the Famine of 1932/33 and the Project on the Millennium of Christianity in Rus'-Ukraine. HURI is the host institution for the long-running project on Archives in the former Soviet Union and more recently, the ArcheoBiblioBase project on Ukraine and Russia (Dr. Patricia K. Grimsted, project director). HURI is engaged in collaborative projects with other area studies
centers at Harvard, a number of American and foreign institutions,
and, increasingly, with academic institutions in Ukraine. For more
information on research and academic programs, contact Dr.
Lubomyr Hajda. Educational and Training Programs Instructional programs in Ukrainian studies are conducted primarily through the Departments of History and Slavic Languages and Literatures, whose faculty are closely associated with HURI. The Seminar in Ukrainian Studies organized by the Institute may be taken for credit by graduate students. HURI organizes the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute annually in conjunction with the Harvard Summer School. Students with a special interest in Ukraine benefit from consultation with the Institute's academic adviser, as well as with resident faculty, Associates, and Visiting Scholars, especially those from Ukraine. Special programs are organized for the Institute's Student Affiliates, while more advanced Graduate Student Fellows are provided with study space, computer access, and other resources of the Institute. HURI administers a number of graduate student fellowships and awards prizes for student research papers on Ukrainian topics. Since Ukraine's independence, the Institute has organized a number
of programs to enhance familiarity with Ukraine among non-academic
professionals in various fields -- business, journalism, government
service, and others. The Mid-Career Training Fellows Program offers
such professionals a course of individual study, consultations with
specialists in Ukrainian fields, access to Institute programs and
Harvard libraries, and study space. Problems relevant to contemporary
policy analysis, business, trade, and like issues have been the subject
of specialized Intensive Summer Seminars for practitioners. Longer
and shorter briefing programs on current affairs are organized by
arrangement with interested parties. Seminars and Conferences The weekly Monday Seminar in Ukrainian Studies is the Institute’s major forum for scholars and graduate students to present the results of their research and subject them to rigorous discussion. Topics presented encompass all disciplines that touch on Ukrainian studies—history, linguistics, literature, art, anthropology, sociology, economics and political science; and includes the Ukraine-Turkey Series in co-sponsorship with the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Since its inception the Ukrainian Research Institute has organized over fifty major conferences, colloquia, and symposia. Such recent include the following:
The Institute maintains three perpetual memorial lecture series: the Vasyl and Maria Petryshyn Memorial Lecture in Ukrainian Studies (held every year), as well as the Zenovia Sochor Parry and the Bohdan Krawciw Memorial Lectures (held every other year). |
