Dear Colleagues,

This is to bring to your attention a new course offered this summer at 
Harvard, "Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge." It is designed primarily for 
graduate students and scholars who need Ukrainian reading skills for 
research purposes. Students in the course will confront texts from a 
wide variety of fields. This intense (8 unit) course is ideal for those 
with some previous background in Ukrainian, Russian or some other Slavic 
language. Please note that it is a FLAS eligible course.

The instructor is Volodymyr Dibrova, Preceptor in the Department of 
Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University and 
writer-in-residence at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. Those 
of us who have been fortunate to be taught Ukrainian by him know that he 
is a veritable font of knowledge.

The Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute is also offering two topic 
courses, both taught by tenured Harvard faculty. Professor Michael Flier 
will teach "Ukraine as Linguistic Battleground" and Serhii Plokhii is 
offering a history course entitled "Frontiers of Europe: Ukraine since 
1500."

Naturally, all students enrolled in the HUSI courses have full access to 
Harvard University's Widener Library, the largest academic library in 
the United States. Harvard likewise boasts Slavic and Ucrainica 
collections that are the largest outside of Eastern Europe.

HUSI is part of Harvard Summer School, which runs from June 27 through 
August 12. More information on the courses and program (which includes a 
range of special events, films, and lectures) as well as how to apply 
can be found on the HUSI website, www.huri.harvard.edu/husi.html.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either 
myself or Tamara Nary, HURI's Programs Administrator 
(huri at fas.harvard.edu).

With best wishes,
Dr. Patrice M. Dabrowski
Director, Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI)
