The Ukraine Research Group at University of Toronto was launched two years ago, under the auspices of the Petro Jacyk Program for the Study of Ukraine, and has proven to be very successful. The URG is open to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, PhD and masters’ students at the University of Toronto, and from other institutions around Toronto, who study Ukraine, or whose work touches on Ukraine comparatively. The group’s goal is to help scholars stay informed about each other’s research, promote interdisciplinary approaches to Ukrainian studies, and to foster an academic community in the field.
