Dear Seelangers,

On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to announce the following  
opportunities here at the University of Alberta.

Study Ukrainian Folklore at the University of Alberta

The Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies at the  
University of Alberta is now accepting applications for the Ukrainian  
Folklore program for the 2007-2008 & 2008-2009 school years.

Students can take individual courses or achieve a BA, MA or PhD in  
Ukrainian Folklore. Study the effect that traditional ideas have on  
modern cultural life both in Canada and Ukraine through folktales,  
material culture, customs, rites and rituals. Some classes are taught  
in English while other deal with folklore original texts. Senior level  
courses are designed to be flexible, allowing students to pursue  
individual interests and support thesis research.

Our professors are well known in the world of Folklore as well as  
Ukrainian studies Dr. Andriy Nahachewsky directs the Peter and Doris  
Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore Director and holds the  
Huculak Chair in Ukrainian Culture and Ethnography.  He and Dr.  
Natalie Kononenko, Kule chair in Ukrainian Ethnography oversee all  
graduate student thesis projects.

In conjunction with the Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and  
Canadian Folklore students have access to the Bohdan Medwisdsky  
Archives at the University of Alberta where students can utilize a  
wide variety of resources from both Canada and Ukraine including:  
texts, artifacts, interviews and recordings.  The Medwidsky Archive is  
a pioneer in the collection of folklore materials and uses the most  
modern collection techniques.  Students at all levels are encouraged  
to actively participate in research and will be able to increase the  
body of their work significantly through these projects.

Graduate programs offered: Masters - approx. 2 years, Post Doctorate -  
approx. 4 years. Graduate students must have achieved a bachelor  
degree from an accredited university.

Folklorists work in a number of areas including; education,  
government, culture, business, travel, museums, fine art, marketing,  
nursing and even in the legal system.
