The Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore invites applications to the 
graduate program in Ukrainian Folklore based in the Department of Modern 
Languages and Cultural Studies, University of Alberta.  The program offers 
both the MA and PhD degrees.  Courses cover the verbal arts, both prose and 
poetry, material culture, dance, ritual practices in Ukraine and Canada, folklore 
theory and methodology, and folk belief.  Students may choose fieldwork in 
either Ukraine or Canada or a combination of the two.  A recent agreement 
with the Rylskyi Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences should expand 
field and archival research possibilities in Ukraine.  Students and researchers 
benefit from the substantial collections of our Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian 
Folklore Archives, and from rich local community resources.

Opportunities for language training are excellent,  and students may include 
study in Lviv as part of their training.  Courses in related fields include 
humanities computing, anthropology, museum studies, and ethnomusicology, 
along with a wide range of choices in other departments.  Our degrees prepare 
students for a variety of interesting jobs and recent graduates have found 
employment in academe, in museums and historical preservation facilities, in 
archives, as creative artists, and in the public sector.

Graduate support is generous and students typically work as teaching 
assistants and/or research assistants.  Research assistantships include 
database and archival work and thus contribute to training and employability.
