The Assault on Culture in Ukraine: The Holodomor Years

Please join the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium (HREC, at CIUS, University of Alberta) and the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute, Columbia University for the conference “The Assault on Culture in Ukraine: The Holodomor Years,” to be held October 19, 2023 at Columbia University.

Since the fall of the USSR, the Holodomor has been the subject of considerable research, yet connections between it and attacks on Ukrainian culture have received relatively little attention. This conference will consider the relation between the famine and the assault on Ukrainian language, literature, art, theatre, education, religion, and traditions.

Conference participants: Mark Andryczyk, Leah Batstone, Olga Bertelsen, Nichloas Denysenko, Bohdan Kild, Olena Palko, Matthew Pauly, Yuri Shevchuk, Myroslav Shkandrij, Frank Sysyn, Serhy Yekelchyk.
