### HUSI students and instructors are invited to join writer Volodymyr Rafeyenko for a Ukrainian language conversation hour.

Join us for casual snacks and conversation (in Ukrainian) on a range of topics with award-winning Ukrainian writer, poet, translator, and literary and film critic [Volodymyr Rafeyenko](https://books.huri.harvard.edu/authors/337). This is an opportunity for members of the HUSI cohort to practice their Ukrainian language skills, regardless of their level of proficiency, while also learning about contemporary Ukrainian literature.

We'll also have several English translations of Volodymyr Rafeyenko's work available for purchase from HURI Books: [*Mondegreen*](https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/rafeyenko-mondegreen), [*The Length of Days*](https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/the-length-of-days), and [*Signals of Being*](https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/signals-of-being)

Hosted by [Vladyslav Nekhoroshykh](https://www.huri.harvard.edu/people/vladyslav-nekhoroshykh), Grants Coordinator for HURI Publications

#### *This is a private event for Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) students, faculty, and staff.*
