Graduate Study in Ukrainian Folklore at the University of Alberta

[nataliek]

The Ukrainian Folklore Centre at the University of Alberta invites
applications to its graduate program.  Students receive training in all
aspects of Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Canadian folklore, including oral
literature, ritual, and material culture, plus advanced courses in research
methods and theory.  Faculty include Drs. Natalie Kononenko and Andriy
Nahachewsky

Besides Ukrainian Folklore, the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural
Studies offers courses in Ukrainian language and literature at all levels.
Courses in 15 other languages are also offered, as are courses in linguistics
and translation theory.  The University of Alberta is a major centre for
Ukrainian studies in North America where training in folklore can be
supplemented by work in History, Political Science, Ethnomusicology,
Anthropology, Museum Studies, and other related fields.

In addition to full academic training, the Ukrainian Folklore Centre provides
excellent fieldwork opportunities.  Ukrainian-Canadian communities provide
rich sources of data.   Past dissertations and theses have studied folk
narratives, traditional music, folk dance, folk medicine, weddings, and
holiday celebrations such as Malanka.  Fieldwork in Ukraine can also be
arranged.

Graduate support is excellent and includes opportunities for Research and
Teaching assistantships.  As part of their program, students work with data
housed in the Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archive, receiving training
in digital humanities, archiving, and museum work, all of which makes them
prime candidates for both academic positions and jobs outside academe.
