Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, a programme of the Department of Slavonic Studies at the University of Cambridge, is inviting interested graduate students and researchers at the beginning of their careers to participate in a special workshop in contemporary Ukrainian Studies.

Conducted by one of Ukraine’s most celebrated historians, Dr Andrii Portnov, the workshop is entitled ‘Lieu de non-mémoire: A Ukrainian City and Its Russian, Jewish and Soviet Traces’. In order to understand the paradoxes of post-Soviet pluralism, the workshop will employ Dnipropetrovsk (imperial Yekaterinoslav) as a laboratory in which to study the coexistence of, and conflicts between, different ethnic and religious groups in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. It will also offer participants an opportunity to delve deeply into the content of Dr Portnov’s presentation at the Tenth Annual Stasiuk Lecture in Contemporary Ukrainian Studies.

The workshop will take place on Friday, 24 February 2012 from 11am to 2pm in the Beves Room, King’s College, Cambridge. More information on the Annual Stasiuk Lecture and postgraduate workshops in Ukrainian Studies can be found at www.CambridgeUkrainianStudies.org.

For accepted workshop participants, coffee and lunch will be provided, and costs for domestic economy train/coach travel to and from Cambridge reimbursed.

To apply, please send a brief CV and statement of interest to Mr Sean Durman, Department of Slavonic Studies, University of Cambridge, at slavon@hermes.cam.ac.uk by Friday, 17 February 2012.
