The most recent migration wave from Ukraine to the U.S., known as the Fourth Wave, was probably the most important event in the history of Ukrainians in the U.S. since the First Wave at the turn of the 20th century (Fourth Wave immigrants are persons born in Ukraine who migrated to the U.S. after 1987).
NEW YORK – Columbia University’s Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute will offer five courses focusing on Ukrainian political science, language and visual art in the spring 2021 semester. It will also organize a series of lectures in Ukrainian studies at the university. Due to the pandemic, all courses and events for the semester will be held online. The online events will be open to the public, but registration will be required.
Dr. Olena Martynyuk, Jacyk Postdoctoral Fellow in Ukrainian Studies at the Harriman Institute, will teach a new course in the spring titled “Agents of Change: Ukrainian Art Between Revolutions.” The course will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:40-3:55 p.m. The course will trace the appearance of the avant-garde on the territory of the Russian Empire with a focus on Ukrainian art as compared to Russian.
Ukraine Global Scholars (UGS) and Boston Friends of UGS will hold their third annual event on November 21 with William Taylor, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, as the keynote speaker. The event will take place over Zoom at 1 p.m. ET and is expected to gather more than 100 attendees across the United States, Canada and Ukraine.
The theme of the event will be “Leadership in the 21st Century,” focusing on several young Ukrainians’ fast-growing entrepreneurial ventures and the leadership skills critical to unlocking value in the 21st century. Attendees will include UGS benefactors, alumni and mentors, as well as those interested in UGS and its role in helping raise a new generation of Ukrainian leaders through scholarships to U.S. and global private high schools and colleges.
