Online Round-Table Discussion | The Builders of Ukrainian Studies in North America. The Generation of 1919: Omeljan Pritsak, George Luckyj, and Ivan Lysiak Rudnytsky | Monday, 29 June 2020 | 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Mountain Time)

Born in the turbulent year of 1919 amidst the struggle of the Ukrainian and Polish armies over control of Western Ukraine, Omeljan Pritsak, Ivan Lysiak Rudnytsky, and George S.N. Luckyj would eventually settle in North America as post–World War II émigrés. There, all three exerted a significant impact—each in his own way—on academic life and, in particular, on the formation of the field of Ukrainian studies. This session will discuss the legacies of these three important Ukrainian and North American scholars. Moderated by Olga Andriewsky, the online round-table discussion will be based on papers that were delivered by Frank Sysyn, Marko R. Stech, and Yaroslav Hrytsak at the 2019 annual convention of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies in San Francisco (subsequently published in Ab Imperio).

Eighteenth-Century Ukraine: New Perspectives on Social, Cultural, and Intellectual History

The articles selected for this volume reflect new developments in the study of eighteenth-century Ukrainian history during the last 10-15 years. After enduring forced isolation caused by ideological restrictions of the Soviet regime, during the 1990s Ukrainian historiography experienced the return of its national paradigm, on the one hand, and on the other it became much more open to the world and began adopting best practices from international history writing.
