About Volume 2-3
In November 2019 our Society, along with other Ukrainian Studies institutions in the US—the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the US, the Ukrainian Institute of America, and the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University—sponsored an international conference on the occasion of the bicentennial of Panteleimon Kulish, the author of the first Ukrainian novel, the translator of the Bible and many plays of Shakespeare, the creator of the Ukrainian orthography, and a tireless and passionate critic, publicist, historian, ethnographer and true Renaissance man. Several of the articles included in this volume were first presented at that conference, which was held at the Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City.
Among the articles included in this issue are:
