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.

SUMMARY:Book launch of “Ukrainian Bishop\, American Church: Constantine Bohachevsky and the Ukrainian Catholic Church”  by Dr. Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak
DESCRIPTION:Constantine Bohachevsky was not a typical bishop. On the eve of his unexpected nomination as bishop to the Ukrainian Catholics in America\, in March 1924\, the Vatican secretly whisked him from Warsaw to Rome to be ordained. He arrived in America that August to a bankrupt church and a hostile clergy. He stood his ground\, and chose to live simple missionary life. He eschewed public pomp\, as did his immigrant congregations. He regularly visited his scattered churches. He fought a bitter fight for the independence of the church from outside interference – a kind of struggle between the Church and the state\, absent both. He refashioned a failing immigrant church in America into a self-sustaining institution that half a century after his death could help resurrect the underground Catholic Church in Ukraine\, which became the largest Eastern Catholic church today.

SUMMARY:Book launch of  “New York Elegies: Ukrainian Poems on the City” edited by Ostap Kin
DESCRIPTION:New York Elegies attempts to demonstrate how descriptions and evocations of New York City are connected to various stylistic modes and topical questions urgent to Ukrainian poetry throughout its development. The collection thus gives readers the opportunity to view New York through various poetic and stylistic lenses. Ukrainian poets connected themselves to a powerful myth of New York\, the myth of urban modernity and problematic vitality. The city of exiles and outsiders sees itself reflected in the mirror that newcomers and exiles created. By adding new voices and layers to this amalgam\, it is possible to observe the expanded picture of this worldly poetic city. \nAvailable for purchase here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alcoholism\, Degeneration\, and Ukrainian Nationalism: Doctor Sofia Parfanovych and the Vidrodzhennia Anti-Alcohol Society in the Interwar Galicia
DESCRIPTION:Analyzing writings of Dr. Parfanovych\, a political activist and the head of the Vidrodzhennia (Renaissance) Anti-Alcohol Society allows to see how medical professionals politicized certain social and medical conditions\, putting them into the spotlight of nationalist educational work. While it was illnesses of an alcohol-addicted individual that doctors treated\, the health of the nation was a key concern of the Vidrodzhennia Society\, establishing a direct linkage between sobriety\, freedom from alcohol\, and Ukrainian political independence. In the Ukrainian anti-alcohol campaigns of the 1930s\, “social” and “medical” dimension of alcohol consumption were shifting\, shaping a new vision of “social disease” that was highly dangerous for the collective political body of the nation\, especially for the next generations. Dr. Parfanovych particularly addressed women as mothers who were responsible for the healthy biological reproduction. Medicalizing the project of political modernization\, doctors like Parfanovych attempted to gain more power and authority over each individual body and thus shape the future of the nation.

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
