Sixth Annual Danyliw Research Seminar on Contemporary Ukraine
Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Ottawa, 28-30 October 2010
CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS
The Chair of Ukrainian Studies, with the support of the Wolodymyr George
Danyliw Foundation, will be holding its Sixth Annual Danyliw Research
Seminar on Contemporary Ukraine at the University of Ottawa on 28-30
October 2009. The Seminar will feature research papers, touching on
Ukraine, from the disciplines of political science, history,
anthropology (ethnology), sociology, economics, religious studies,
demography, geography, literature, cinema, folklore and other fields of
social science and humanities. Papers with a theoretical and comparative
focus are particularly solicited.
The Seminar is open to all social science and humanities research
topics, including topics in history and literature, on topics that
include Ukraine-Russia relations, Ukraine and the European Union,
electoral politics, political regime and practices, constitutional
politics, national identity, religion and society, gender, language, and
more.
In addition, two of its sections will feature special themes:
The first will pursue the Seminar’s ongoing exploration of the politics
of memory, with papers touching on the Famine (Holodomor), the Holocaust
(Shoah), the purges, deportations, forced labor and other cases of mass
violence, committed on the territory of what is today Ukraine, in the
1930s, during World War II and the immediate post-War period, involving,
among others, the NKVD, German military and paramilitary forces, the
Soviet Army, Soviet partisans, the OUN, the UPA, and the Polish Home
Army, police, and military forces. We are inviting paper proposals based
on current research on social and political history for this period
and/or on an analysis of contemporary political issues raised by the
memorialization of these events, and are expanding the scope of social
science and historical research to the representation of memory in
literature, cinema, and the arts more generally.
The second theme will continue our presentation of new research on the
political economy of Ukraine, particularly as it relates to the informal
economy and informal politics, trans-border exchange and other
practices, internal and international migration, economic “clans”,
corruption, oil and gas politics, the impact of global economic factors,
the rule of law, rural political economy and related topics.
Scholars and doctoral students are invited to submit a 1000 word paper
proposal and a 250 word biographical statement, by email attachment, to
Dominique Arel, Chair of Ukrainian Studies, at [email protected] AND
[email protected]. Please also include your full coordinates
(institutional affiliation, preferred postal address, email, phone) and
indicate your latest publication (or, in the case of doctoral
applicants, the year when you entered a doctoral program, the
[provisional] title of your dissertation and year of expected
completion).
The proposal deadline is 15 June 2010. To be eligible, papers must not
have been accepted for publication by the time of the Seminar. The Chair
will cover the expenses of participants, including discussants, to the
Seminar. An international selection committee will review the proposals
and notify applicants shortly after the deadline.
The aim of the Seminar is to provide a unique forum for researchers from
Canada, Ukraine, the United States, Europe and elsewhere to engage in
fruitful inter-disciplinary dialogue, disseminate cutting-edge research
papers on the Chair web site, encourage publications in various outlets,
and stimulate collaborative research projects. Papers of the first four
Annual Danyliw Research Seminars in Contemporary Ukrainian Studies can
be downloaded at www.ukrainianstudies.uottawa.ca
<http://www.ukrainianstudies.uottawa.ca> . The Seminar adopts the format
of a Workshop, where each presentation is followed by group discussion,
and is open to the public.
The Seminar is made possible by the commitment of the Wolodymyr George
Danyliw Foundation to the pursuit of excellence in the study of
contemporary
Ukraine.
