The Seminar will feature 15 presentations, as well as a roundtable, and bring together 26 scholars and doctoral students from Ukraine, Western Europe, the United States and Canada.
The first day, on November 1 (2.00-6.30 PM), will feature four papers on contemporary Ukrainian politics —on topics ranging from the privatization of the land, Russia-Ukraine relations, language practices under Yanukovych, and the rise of the Ukrainian Far Right (Svoboda).
The lecture will be followed by a public opening reception in the same room, Desmarais 12102, between 6.30 and 7.30 PM.
On Friday, November 2 (9.00 AM-1 PM), the morning sessions will be devoted to the current electoral process in Ukraine, with papers on the Tymoshenko case and on electoral fraud, to be followed by a special roundtable on the October 28 parliamentary elections, whose results will be known by then. For the occasion, Dominique Arel (Chair of Ukrainian Studies) and Paul d’Anieri (Florida) will be joined by a number of Canadian electoral observers, who will be returning to Ottawa on November 1, and whose names will be announced later.
The Friday afternoon session (2.30-6.00 PM) will feature papers on media capture in Ukraine and on gender (Women’s Right Activism in Ukraine, Cross-Border Trade between Romanian and Ukraine).
On Saturday, November 3 (9.00 AM-12.30 PM), the Seminar will resume its yearly examination of the history of mass violence, with two papers on the Ukrainian police in World War II (in Reichskommissariat Ukraine and in the Eastern Military Zone, Kharkiv), and one offering an historical anthropology of the Holodomor.
The Saturday afternoon sessions will examine the periphery during the war and in the postwar era, with papers on Lviv (touching on theater and gender), and on religion in Soviet Kharkiv.
As has become customary in previous years, the Seminar will introduce new talents, with eleven presenters – including five doctoral students – making their first appearance in this annual event. As a sign of the vitality of Ukrainian studies, six of the participants are Ukraine-born, three of whom currently living or studying abroad.
Eleven presenters, who are currently at the doctoral or post-doctoral stage (defined as up to six years after the completion of a PhD) will be eligible for the Danyliw Seminar Emerging Scholar Award, which comes with a monetary prize. Launched at the 2011 Seminar, the first award was given to Serhiy Kudelia for his paper “The Impact of Collectivization on Insurgency Mobilization in Western Ukraine after World War II”.
The 2012 Danyliw Seminar Program was prepared by an international selection committee comprised of Anna Colin Lebedev (France), Alexandra Goujon (France), Ioulia Shukan (France), and Dominique Arel (Chair of Ukrainian Studies).
The Seminar is made possible by the commitment of the Wolodymyr George Danyliw Foundation to the pursuit of excellence in the study of contemporary Ukraine.
Since seating is limited, people interested in attending the Seminar must register by email (chairukr@gmail.com) as soon as possible. Registration is free. The Chair of Ukrainian Studies can also be contacted by phone at 613 562 5800 ext. 3692.
