SUMMARY:Book launch “New Generation Political Activism in Ukraine: 2000–2014 (Routledge\, 2018)”
DESCRIPTION:This book explains how socio-cultural experiences shape an individual’s choices to become an activist in the authoritarian space of post-Soviet Ukraine by applying a cultural\, actor-centred approach using qualitative methods of interviews and ethnography. Using biographical narratives gathered among activists involved in the three largest protests since Ukrainian independence in 1991\, it offers an account of the dynamics of individual decision making between participants in collective protest actions under repressive conditions. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture “Transatlantic Youth Activism of Young Ukrainian Immigrants"
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will explore the transnational activism of young Ukrainian immigrants in the United States during and after the Euromaidan protests and their contribution to democratization of Ukraine from abroad. While the existing research details the influence of the Ukrainian diaspora on the democratic development of Ukraine\, especially since the proclamation of its independence (Koinova\, 2009; Satzewich\, 2002)\, it rarely discusses whether and how young Ukrainians who emigrated to the United States in the last two decades have contributed to the democratization of their homeland from abroad. Drawing on the transnational activism literature (Faist\, 2010; Levitt & Jaworsky\, 2007; Smith & Guarnizo\, 1998)\, this presentation will highlight motivations of young Ukrainian immigrants to engage and support the Euromaidan movement from abroad; the diversity of strategies they employed to enable political\, economic\, and social change during and after the Euromaidan; and the subsequent impact they created in Ukraine and the United States. The presentation will draw on a qualitative case study that examined the non-profit organization Razom\, which was established by a group of young Ukrainians in New York City in the wake of Euromaidan in December 2013 to support democracy\, human rights\, and social justice in Ukraine

SUMMARY:Lecture “The Ukrainian-Polish joint expedition to Kholm: The artifacts of King Danylo from the 13th Century”
DESCRIPTION:Сенсаційна знахідка у День Незалежності України  \n24 cерпня 2018 в місті Холмі у Польщі під час археологічних досліджень місця колишнього замку–резиденції короля Русі Данила Романовича знайдено три унікальні артефакти\, що підтверджують літописні згадки про архітектуру королівського храму. У Галицько-Волинському літописі стверджувалося\, що: «Звів також [Данило] церкву святого Іоанна [Златоустого]\, красну і гожу. І споруда її була така: … троє вікон прикрашені [були] склом римським (тобто вітражами); … внутрішній же поміст її був вилитий з міді і з чистого олова\, так що блищав він\, як дзеркало. Дверей же її двоє [були] прикрашені каменем тесаним — галицьким білим і зеленим холмським…» (текст за Л.Махновцем). \nНаведений у літописі опис\, дотепер  мав лише часткове підтвердження. При розкопках на місці колишнього замку короля Данила в Холмі у попередні роки було знайдено декілька фрагментів різьблених кам’яних деталей із місцевого холмського зеленого каменю (глауконітиту). Але білокам’яних архітектурних деталей\, які би підверджували правдивість літописних рядків\, дотепер не було виявлено. Від початку серпня цього року на замковій горі у Холмі продовжилися археологічні розкриття. І симптоматично\, що 24 серпня у розкопі №46 нарешті знайдено велику архітектурну деталь з білого вапняку. Деталь має мистецьки виконану частину\, яка вказує\, що це ймовірно кронштейн арки дверного порталу – див. фото 1. За архітектурною стилістикою ця деталь подібна до попередньо виявлених зелених глауконітитових деталей. \nУ цьому ж розкопі паралельно було виявлено ще одну унікальну знахідку. Її теж можна віднести до найбільш цікавих мистецьких знахідок. Віднайдено фрагмент бронзової плитки\, яка підверджує літописну згадку про поміст вилитий з міді та олова (фото 2). Поки що це перший малий фрагментик літописного помосту у вівтарній частині храму\, який ще належить дослідити лабораторним способом на предмет техніки його виготовлення та мистецького вистрою. \nЩе одна\, не менш сенсаційна знахідка цього дня\, – пластина товстого дуже якісно виготовленого скла неправильних геометричних форм\, оправленої  в тонку мідну смугу металу. Наймовірніше це є фрагмент згаданого у літописі вітража (римського скла)\, оскільки  знайдено його у румовищі скісно виконаних архітектурних деталей\, що можуть бути елементами колишнього віконного прорізу. \nАрхеологічні рештки резиденції короля Данила Романовича у Холмі досліджує вже 7-ий сезон експедиція з Інституту Археології та Етнології Польської Академії Наук під керівництвом професора  Анджея Буко. Безпосереднє виконання розкопок відбувається під наглядом археолога з Холма Станіслава Голуба. До складу експедиції як консультанти запрошуються епізодично українські вчені. Свідками сенсаційних знахідок стали спеціалісти зі Львова – Микола Бевз\, Юрій Лукомський\, Василь Петрик\, Володимир Бевз. \n \nСимволічно\, що такі значущі знахідки артефактів української історії XIII ст. сталися у День святкування 27-ої річниці Незалежності. \nПроф.\, до габ. Анджей Буко \nПроф.\, др. арх. Микола Бевз \nАрхеолог Станіслав Голуб

SUMMARY:Presentation of the Encyclopedia of Ukrainian Diaspora\, Volume 1\, United States of America\, Book 3
DESCRIPTION:НТШ-А. 15 вересня 2018 р. Відбулася презентація Третьої книги Американського тому Енициклопедії Української Діяспори. Зі вступним словом виступила д-р Галина Гринь\, президент НТШ-А. \nД-р Орест Попович\, головний редактор Треньої книги\, у своєму виступі\, розповів історію енциклопедичного видання і\, зокрема\, про працю над Третьою книгою. Відзначив\, що це видання має історичну вагу. \n“Американський Том ЕУД зафіксовує для історії внески і досягнення українців у своїх громадах – це очевидне\, але Третя Книга представляє також ряд українців\, яких досягнення є загально-американського\, а то й світового значення. Кілька прикладів\, вибірково: Ігор Сікорський\, винахідник гелікоптера; Йосиф Харик\, творець американської системи комунікаційних сателітів в просторі; астронавтка Стефанишин-Пайпер\, яка ходила в космічному просторі; член НТШ-А (свого часу й Управи) Андрій Храпливий\, світової слави піонер в галузі волоконної оптики (файбер оптікс); Степан Тимошенко\, академік\, світової слави науковець\, основоположник теорій міцности матеріялів\, пружности та коливань; Святослав Трофименко\, довголітній член і віце-президент НТШ-А\, міжнародньої слави хемік; Віра Фарміґа\, фільмова і телевізійна зірка; Василь (Вільям) Шуст\, театральний актор. Цей список слави можна б продовжити. \nА накінець про нашу найцікавішу знахідку: усі ми знаємо ту найславнішу американську картину з 2 Світ. війни\, де відділ Американської Морської Піхоти підносить прапор на острові Іво Джіма – з неї у Вашінґтоні спорудили бронзовий пам’ятник. Але мало хто знає\, що провідником того відділу був іміґрант з Пряшівщини\, старший сержант Михайло Стренк. Академік НАНУ Микола Мушинка\, колишній голова НТШ у Словаччині\, дослідив\, що родина Стренків\, яка дотепер живе коло Пряшева в українському селі\, уважає себе українцями і належить до українського товариства. ЕУД є першим джерелом у діяспорі\, якед відзначило цього амриканського героя українського роду. Ми маємо для Стренка гасло з його світлиною\, а на обкладинці дали ту “ікону“ з підняттям прапора на острові Іво Джіма. Слід згадати\, що кілька днів після підняття того прапора\, Михайло Стренк поляг в бою з японцями. Ми подарували примірник Третьої Книги академікові Мушинці. Він відписав захоплено\, що книгою “любується“ (його слова)\, і що напише рецензію на цілий Американський Том.” (з виступу д-ра Ореста Поповича) \n  \n \nНаукове Товариство ім. Шевченка в Америці видало Третю книгу Американського тому Енциклопедії Української Діяспори (ЕУД)\, літери С-Я. Обсяг книги складається з 517 сторінок основного тексту\, 16 сторінок вступу та 8 сторінокілюстрацій.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The amazing neutron star merger GW170817
DESCRIPTION:The Mathematics and Physics section of the Shevchenko Scientific Society invite you to a lecture by Dr. Melania Nynka\, X-ray astronomer\, postdoctoral researcher at the McGill Space Institute\, studying our universe using cutting-edge space-based telescopes. She is broadly interested in our complex and crowded Galactic Center. \n \n \nThe LIGO and Virgo observatories have been detecting gravitational waves from two colliding black holes since 2015.  These groundbreaking detections have already earned a Nobel Prize in Physics!  But on August 17\, 2017\, the LIGO observatory detected the first ever gravitational wave emission of a neutron star merger and yet again dramatically changed the landscape of astrophysics. \nNeutron stars\, or two extremely dense cores left over after supernovae\, produce both gravitational and electromagnetic radiation when they collide together.  The neutron star merger was so powerful that light from every wavelength – radio\, IR\, visible\, UV\, X-ray and gamma-ray – dramatically erupted in the sky\, and a third of the professional astronomy community and 70 world-class observatories around the globe raced to capture a detection. \nDr. Nynka is part of a small team at McGill University which tracking the evolution of the merger using powerful space-based X-ray telescopes.  The data they collect\, especially when combined with other wavelengths\, help deepen our understanding of the universe.  We now know how neutron star mergers create\, for example\, most of the metals we use in jewelry and construction.  Dr. Nynka will first give a brief overview of X-ray telescopes and her experiences helping built an X-ray optic. She will then focus on both the astrophysical processes the neutron star merger has revealed as well as the unanswered questions we are still trying to answer. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Book launch of “Ukraine’s Quest for Identity: Embracing Cultural Hybridity in Literary Imagination\, 1991-2011” (2018) by Maria G. Rewakowicz
DESCRIPTION:Ukraine’s Quest for Identity: Embracing Cultural Hybridity in Literary Imagination\, 1991–2011 is the first study that looks at the literary process in post-independence Ukraine comprehensively and attempts to draw the connection between literary production and identity construction. In its quest for identity Ukraine has followed a path similar to other postcolonial societies\, the main characteristics of which include a slow transition\, hybridity\, and identities negotiated on the center-periphery axis. This monograph concentrates on major works of literature produced during the first two decades of independence and places them against the background of clearly identifiable contexts such as regionalism\, gender issues\, language politics\, social ills\, and popular culture. It also shows that Ukrainian literary politics of that period privileges the plurality and hybridity of national and cultural identities. By engaging postcolonial discourse and insisting that literary production is socially instituted\, Maria G. Rewakowicz explores the reasons behind the tendency toward cultural hybridity and plural identities in literary imagination. Ukraine’s Quest for Identity will appeal to all those keen to study cultural\, social and political ramifications of the collapse of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe and beyond.
