The Chair of Ukrainian Studies, with the support of the
Wolodymyr George Danyliw Foundation, will be holding its
Third Annual Danyliw Research Seminar on Contemporary
Ukraine at the University of Ottawa on 27-29 September 2007.
The Seminar will feature research papers, touching on
Ukraine, from the disciplines of political science,
anthropology (ethnology), sociology, economics, religious
studies, demography, geography and other fields of social
science. Papers with a theoretical and comparative focus are
particularly solicited. Proposals touching on Belarus will
also be considered.

For the first time, the Seminar will hold a special section
devoted to current historical research. Applications on all
themes, including but not limited to the topics of
imperialism, the famine, the Second World War, and
nation-building, will be examined.

Scholars and doctoral students are invited to submit a 1000
word paper proposal and a 250 word biographical statement,
by email attachment, to Dominique Arel, Chair of Ukrainian
Studies, at darel@uottawa.ca. The proposal deadline is 31
May 2007. To be eligible, papers must not have been accepted
for publication by the time of the Seminar. The Chair will
cover the expenses of participants, including discussants,
to the Seminar. An international selection committee will
review the proposals and notify applicants shortly after the
deadline.

The aim of the Seminar is to provide a unique forum for
researchers from Canada, the United States, Ukraine, Europe
and elsewhere to engage in fruitful inter-disciplinary
dialogue, disseminate cutting-edge research papers on the
Chair web site, encourage publications in various outlets,
and stimulate collaborative research projects. Papers of the
First Annual Danyliw Research Seminar in Contemporary
Ukrainian Studies can be downloaded at

format of a Workshop, where each presentation is followed by
group discussion, and is open to the public.

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.
