Lectures & Special Events

Professor Pavel Khazanov will give a lecture as part of the Center for European Studies' Local Talent Series

Lindsay Ceballos (Lafayette) will discuss "Mainstreaming the Underground: Musical Interludes and Covers in Serebrennikov's Summer"

Come hear the author talk about her new book, which examines how the dilemmas of Ukrainian identity manifest themselves in the literature of post-independence Ukraine. It asks how various identities--national, territorial, ethnolinguistic, class and gender--are reflected in literary works of the most representative contemporary authors, and how much these works contribute to the process of Ukraine's decolonization. Light refreshments will be served.

Maria G. Rewakowicz, PhD (University of Toronto) teaches Ukrainian literature at Rutgers University--New Brunswick and is also affiliated with the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Washington. She is the author of Literature, Exile, Alterity: The New York Group of Ukrainian Poets (2014) and co-editor of Contemporary Ukraine on the Cultural Map of Europe (2009). She also authored a book of essays Persona non grata (2012) and compiled two anthologies of the New York Group poetry, all three published in Ukraine.
