We're thrilled to announce, in partnership with Ukrainian Institute - Український інститут, a new and expanding tool for educators and researchers to incorporate Ukraine into their courses or build new courses centered on Ukraine.
Ukraïnica: The Primary Database of Ukrainian Studies is a platform that connects a growing database of Ukrainian literary works, historical documents, and films in high-quality English translation with a syllabus-building tool for creating and exporting editable reading lists with references for primary and secondary course materials.
The database is designed to hold the entire canon of Ukrainian culture, literature, and history. Scholars who teach courses on Ukraine are encouraged to add high-quality sources to the database to help non-specialists incorporate Ukraine into their lessons.
Please join in this effort to curate a robust database of sources for the study of Ukraine. As Ukraine remains in the public eye and as Russia’s war prompts discussions of decolonizing Slavic studies and other fields, this effort to facilitate accurate representation of Ukraine in the classroom is all the more urgent.
The Ukraïnica project was envisioned and implemented by Oleh Kotsyuba, HURI Manager of Publications, who serves as the Project Director. Sandra Joy Russell, Visiting Lecturer in Gender Studies at Mount Holyoke College, is the Project Editor.
