SUMMARY:Lecture “Beggars in the Ruthenian Cities of the Crown of Poland from the 14th Century to the First Half of the 17th Century"
DESCRIPTION:The history of beggars is poorly covered by written sources; they are usually represented only in the documents of repressive institutions. Beggars’ communities were divided into two categories: recognized and not recognized by municipal authorities. The first group was controlled and taxed while the second one was evicted from towns. Although both groups were “othered” by burghers\, the legalized beggars were an integral part of urban society because accepting alms\, they gave a chance for salvation to those who helped them. The attitude towards beggars evolved. The first change occurred in the 14th century when\, according to Jacques Le Goff\, the Middle Ages became “the world of homebodies” and the spirit of the Crusades declined. The next stage in the evolution of the attitudes towards beggars occurred in the 16th century when the Protestant ethic began to spread. The Sejm constitutions of the Kingdom of Poland\, like the government regulations in other countries of the late Middle Ages\, regulated society’s attitude towards beggars\, tried to protect the towns from their negative impact and imposed taxes on them. But the result was not significant.

SUMMARY:Lecture “Ukrainian Civil Internees in the Polish Camps of Internment\, 1918-1921”
DESCRIPTION:Just after the outbreak of the Polish-Ukrainian war in November 1918\, Polish authorities started arresting specific persons from the Ukrainian society. Among them were mainly people who took part in the building of administrative structures of West Ukrainian People’s Republic or were hostile toward the Polish state. Internments lasted through the end of 1919\, although some persons were arrested and sent to the camps in 1920 and 1921. Ukrainians were held in a few prisoners-of-war camps\, such as Dąbie near Cracow\, Wadowice\, Strzałków\, Modlin\, Dęblin\, or in the camps located inside the fortress of Brześć Litewski. Many prisoners were behind the barbed wire for a long time\, usually a few months. It was quite a large group\, consisting of some 20\, 000 people.

SUMMARY:Dr. Anna Procyk's presentation of her book "Giuseppe Mazzini’s Young Europe and the Birth of Modern Nationalism in the Slavic World" 
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe Shevchenko Scientific Society\, the Ukrainian Institute of America and the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences invite all to a presentation by Anna Procyk of her book Giuseppe Mazzini’s Young Europe and the Birth of Modern Nationalism in the Slavic World (University of Toronto Press\, 2019).  The work examines the intellectual currents in Eastern Europe that attracted educated youth after the Polish Revolution of 1830. Focusing on the political ideas brought to the Slavic world from the West by Polish émigré conspirators\, Anna Procyk explores the core message that the Polish revolutionaries carried\, a message based on the democratic principles espoused by Young Europe’s founder\, Giuseppe Mazzini.  The documentary sources used in this study testify that at its inception the political nationalism in Eastern Europe was republican-democratic in nature and that the clandestine groups in Eastern Europe were closely cooperating with one another through underground channels.  It was through this cooperation that the better-educated Poles and Ukrainians in the political underground became aware that the interests of their nations\, bound together by the forces of history and political necessity\, were best served when they worked closely together.

SUMMARY:Lecture “Renewable Energy in Ukraine and Worldwide: A Comparative Analysis”
DESCRIPTION:The lecture provides an economic analysis of the evolution and prerequisites for renewable energy development worldwide with a focus on reducing the cost of energy from renewable energy sources\, the dynamics of investment in the industry and the economic stimulation of green energy facilities deployment.

SUMMARY:Lecture “Exhibiting Trauma: Memorialization of the Holodomor in Ukrainian Museums”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation analyzes how the Holodomor is presented in Ukrainian museums and exhibition projects. It examines exhibitions in national\, state and local history museums\, discussing the main memory actors\, narratives\, and perception of each museum’s memory policy regarding the Holodomor. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the state-controlled narrative which ranges from trauma\, loss and tragedy to an emphasis on resisting\, opposing and overcoming the communist regime. In summary\, the presentation details the role of museums portraying the Holodomor in comparison with other practices of commemoration\, emphasizing the exclusive mission of museumification in creating the State’s grand narrative about the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933.

SUMMARY:Lecture “The Chungul Kurgan Grave Goods in the Black Sea Steppe of the Thirteenth Century”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation interprets as trophies many of the grave goods excavated from the burial of a steppe leader  –  likely a Polovtsian ‘prince’  –  within the Chungul Kurgan in the steppes of southern Ukraine. Written sources about the culture of the Eurasian steppe of the 11th-13th centuries CE\, comparative study of items in European collections\, and the archaeological details of the exact manner of deposition have allowed the reconstruction of the meanings of these finds in daily life\, and in the burial ritual. The grave goods allow us to propose a possible identity for the deceased\, and his activities in the early 13th century

SUMMARY:Yuriy Tarnawsky Presents his Novels: “Warm Arctic Nights” and “The Iguanas of Heat”
DESCRIPTION:The author will read excerpts from both novels. “Warm Arctic Nights” is probably the only literary work that\, from a child’s point of view\, describes the fate of Ukrainians in the pre-WWII Poland\, the WWII German-occupation years in Ukraine\, and finally their migration to the West. In “The Iguanas of Heat\,” a woman possessed by an inexplicable hatred for her husband\, plans his death on their forthcoming trip to Mexico. Yuriy Tarnawsky is an author of some three dozen books of poetry\, fiction\, drama\, essays\, translations\, and a linguist as well. To quote Alain Arias-Misson\, “His writing has that ever rarer quality of a poetic language\, the intensity and purity of which render his stories unforgettable.”

SUMMARY:Lecture “Echolocation Techniques of Bats and Blind Humans Can Improve Robot Sensing”
DESCRIPTION:Sonar (SOund NAvigation and Ranging) is a sensing modality that extracts environmental features from echoes. Conventional sonars detect only the first echo to give the range of the nearest reflector. Biomimetic sonars apply techniques employed by bats to extract additional information. This talk describes echo processing that produces cognitive maps similar to those formed through echolocation by blind humans.

SUMMARY:Oleh Wolowyna’s presentation of his book “Atlas of Ukrainians in the United States: Demographic and Socio-economic Characteristics”
DESCRIPTION:In more than 300 maps\, The Atlas describes the history of immigration from Ukraine to the US\, provides a comprehensive picture of the current demographic and socio-economic status of Ukrainians in the US\, and quantifies their relative place within American society.  Special attention is given to the impact of the most recent immigration from Ukraine\, the so-called fourth wave.  Besides demographic characteristics such as age\, sex and internal migration\, the Atlas covers topics like education\, labor force\, citizenship\, knowledge of English\, language spoken at home\, income and poverty status\, housing characteristics\, and more.  Indicators based on a large data base from different censuses are used to show the spatial distribution and characteristics of Ukrainians in maps for each State and 55 Metropolitan Areas.

SUMMARY:Lecture “Troubles with Books: Missing and Non-existent Books in the Theological Debates of the Seventeenth-Century Ukraine and Russia”
DESCRIPTION:Ievgeniia Sakal works on the religious history of early modern Ukraine\, Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Her research investigates the circulation and availability of religious books\, the use of patristic writings\, and the culture of learned correspondence and doctrinal debates. A sixteenth-century Western theologian once said that the Reformation was carried out by books\, not swords. The statement turned out to be correct for Eastern Europe as well. In the seventeenth century\, a search for true Orthodoxy\, initiated in Kyiv\, spread north to Moscow as Ukrainian learned monks occupied positions at the tsarist court. There is little doubt that doctrinal debates required books.
