Ukrainian Studies at University of Illinois UC

This channel features the Ukrainian Studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign through interviews with the guest speakers on Ukraine-related topics, hosted by Dr. Olha Khometa, Assistant Professor in Soviet and Post-Soviet Studies in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. The Ukrainian Studies at UIUC were established in the 1970s by Dmytro Shtohryn. Since then, the UIUC has been building a robust Ukrainian studies program, which includes courses on Ukrainian language, culture, and literature; fellowships for Ukrainian language learners; undergraduate and graduate paper awards; a variety of Ukraine-related events on campus, a biannual international conference in Ukrainian Studies, and a vibrant Ukrainian community on campus. UIUC’s Slavic Department offers a major and a minor in Slavic Studies with a concentration in Ukrainian Studies as well as a graduate program in the field.
