Studies (CERES) is pleased to announce a call for papers for the fifth
bi-annual Graduate Student Symposium entitled “Ukraine in Global Context” to

wider context of the post-communist space are encouraged. Submissions can

•         Sociopolitical and Economic Development;
•         Identity and Regionalism;
•         National Security, Foreign Relations, Diaspora;
•         Language (translation, bilingualism, etc.);
•         Literature, Film, and Media;
•         New Approaches to National History and the Politics of Memory.

The Symposium is open to graduate students and recent PhD holders from North
America and Europe. Please submit an abstract (maximum 400 words) and the
curriculum vitae form (available on our website) to
