SUMMARY:Webinar: New Paradigms in Historical Research after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Webinar \nSaturday\, October 10\, 2026 \n10:00 AM (New York) \n17:00 (Kyiv) \nNew Paradigms in Historical Research after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine \nDoes the empire exist within Ukrainian Studies\, and if so\, how should we respond?  Earlier efforts to reframe Ukrainian history were guided by derussification\,  desovietization\, and decommunization. The Russian invasion of Ukraine intensified efforts to decolonize and deimperialize knowledge production across disciplines. But what do these paradigms mean exactly for historians of the region and their efforts to rethink and reinterpret the Ukrainian historical experience in light of recent events? Four distinguished historians discuss new paradigms for reframing the Ukrainian past. \nAndriy Fert (Kyiv School of Economics) \nSteven Seegel (The University of Texas at Austin) \nFrank E. Sysyn (Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies) \nYaroslav Zhuravlov (Friedrich Schiller University Jena) \nModerator: Catherine Wanner (Shevchenko Scientific Society/Penn State University) \n  \nAndriy Fert holds a PhD in history from the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in Ukraine and is currently an associate professor at the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE). He also heads the Center for the Study of Religion at KSE and is a Kone visiting researcher at the Collegium for Advanced Studies at the University of Helsinki. Andriy’s research focuses on the connections between religion\, collective memory\, and nationalism in Ukraine. He is currently working on a book about late-Soviet anti-religious policy in Ukraine. \nSteven Seegel is Professor (tenured\, full rank) in the Department of European and Eurasian Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of Map Men: Transnational Lives and Deaths of Geographers in the Making of East Central Europe (University of Chicago Press\, 2018)\, Ukraine under Western Eyes (Harvard University Press\, 2013)\, and Mapping Europe’s Borderlands: Russian Cartography in the Age of Empire (University of Chicago Press\, 2012). He has been a contributor to the fourth and fifth volumes of Chicago’s international history of cartography series and has translated over 300 entries from Russian and Polish for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos\, 1933-1945\, in multiple volumes\, published jointly by USHMM and Indiana University Press. Professor Seegel is a former director at Harvard University of the Ukrainian Research Institute’s summer exchange program. \nFrank E. Sysyn is director of the Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies\, professor in the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta\, and editor in chief of the Hrushevsky Translation Project. A specialist in Ukrainian and Polish history\, he is the author of Between Poland and the Ukraine: The Dilemma of Adam Kysil\, 1600-1653 (1985)\, Mykhailo Hrushevsky: Historian and National Awakener (2001)\, and studies on the Khmelnytsy Uprising\, Ukrainian historiography\, and early modern Ukrainian political culture. He is also coauthor\, with Serhii Plokhy\, of Religion and Nation in Modern Ukraine (2003). He is editor in chief of the publication of the collected works of Mykhailo Zubrytsky (1856-1919). \nYaroslav Zhuravlov is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at Friedrich Schiller University Jena\, where he has worked since 2024 at the Imre Kertész Kolleg within the profile area Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century: Comparative Historical Experience. His current research project\, Eastern European Debates of the Holocaust in Exile and Emigration\, explores the intellectual and historical dimensions of Holocaust debates in Eastern European exile and émigré communities. In 2026\, he conducted archival research in the United States at the Shevchenko Scientific Society (NTSh) in the United States\, the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the United States (UVAN)\, the Ukrainian History and Education Center (UHEC)\, and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research Archives.

SUMMARY:Webinar. Oksana Shchur: Lystuvannia Sofii Iablons'koi\, Volodymyra Vynnychenka ta Rozalii Vynnychenko\, 1928-1935 (Kyiv: Komora\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:How Is a Writer Born? Can the making of a writer be traced through private correspondence? \nThis online conversation explores Lystuvannia Sofii Iablons’koi\, Volodymyra Vynnychenka ta Rozalii Vynnychenko (1928-1935)\, a collection that brings together letters preserved in archives in France and the United States and offers a fresh perspective on three important figures in Ukrainian culture. The correspondence tells a story not only of friendship and creative exchange\, but also of Sofia Yablonska’s development as a writer. The letters reveal Volodymyr Vynnychenko as an attentive mentor and editor\, Rozaliia Vynnychenko as an independent and engaged interlocutor\, and the Ukrainian literary milieu of interwar Europe as a vibrant space of intellectual debate\, creative uncertainty\, and international cultural connections. During the conversation\, Oksana Shchur will discuss the process of working with archival materials\, the principles behind annotating the letters\, and the ways in which this rich epistolary legacy opens new possibilities for reading and understanding 20th-century Ukrainian literature. \n  \nOksana Shchur is a Ukrainian writer\, essayist\, literary scholar\, and translator based in Berlin. She is the author of the essay collection Cassandra Is Wrong Only Once\, longlisted for the Yuri Shevelyov Prize (2025)\, and editor\, commentator\, and author of the introduction to Lystuvannia Sofii Iablons’koi\, Volodymyra Vynnychenka ta Rozalii Vynnychenko (1928-1935). Her work explores war\, memory\, cultural identity\, emigration\, and Ukrainian culture in a broader European context. She studied literature at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. For six years\, she worked on the literary program of the Book Arsenal International Festival and coordinated international collaborations with the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Cheltenham Literature Festival. In 2022\, she joined international initiatives documenting wartime experiences\, including the online anthology Stimmen gegen den Krieg in cooperation with Literaturhaus Niederösterreich. In 2025\, she curated the audio project 20 Best Short Stories of the New Ukraine for Radio NV. Her current research focuses on the transnational history of twentieth-century Ukrainian literature through archival sources. She regularly lectures and presents her work in Ukraine and internationally. \n  \nThe conversation will be held in Ukrainian. \nModerated by Vasyl Makhno \nWebinar registration \n
