The Krytyka Institute Launches the First English-language

Scholarly Journal of Ukrainian Social Sciences

May 2, 2013 - Kyiv, Ukraine, and Cambridge, MA, USA

The Krytyka Institute (Kyiv, Ukraine) is proud to announce the launch  
of the first peer-reviewed English-language scholarly journal with a  
focus on Ukrainian social sciences - the Journal of Ukrainian Politics  
and Society (JUPS).

The project will be headed by a team of young scholars in political  
science, serving as Editors-in-Chief: Dr. Nadiya Kravets and Dr. Olga  
Onuch. The journal has attracted a number of internationally acclaimed  
scholars to serve on the Journal’s Editorial Board (please find full  
list below). The Journal has announced its first Call for Submissions  
(please find below).

The Journal of Ukrainian Politics and Society’s mission will be to aid  
the development of social sciences in Ukraine. The Editorial Board  
that will peer-review all articles submitted consists of world- 
renowned experts on Ukraine as well as exceptional emerging scholars.  
Published bi-annually and in an open-source format, the Journal will  
have a quick turn-around time between submission, review and  
consequent publication.

“Our vision is to embed the study of Ukraine in broader regional,  
international and transnational processes,” emphasizes Nadiya Kravets  
who received her DPhil in Politics at University of Oxford in 2012  
where she defended her dissertation on domestic sources of Ukraine’s  
foreign and security policy since independence. Dr. Kravets is  
currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Davis Center for Russian and  
Eurasian Studies at Harvard University.

“In pursuing our goal, the Journal will focus on examining Ukraine's  
social and political transformations in comparative perspective as a  
part of larger macro-systemic, political, economic, legal, historical,  
and social dynamics,” explains Olga Onuch who received her DPhil in  
Politics at the University of Oxford in 2011 where she defended her  
dissertation on social mobilization, protest, elections and the role  
of the media in democratizing states in Eastern Europe and Latin  
America. Dr. Onuch is currently a Newton Prize Fellow in Comparative  
Politics at the School of Interdisciplinary and Area Studies at the  
University of Oxford.

“In launching this new groundbreaking scholarly initiative, we aim to  
widen the pool of scholars who provide knowledge about Ukraine to  
global readership by helping local academics communicate their ideas  
to peers worldwide and in English,” adds George G. Grabowicz,  
Professor of Ukrainian Literature at Harvard and President of The  
Krytyka Institute.

The Journal particularly seeks to publish articles that place  
knowledge of Ukraine in wider comparative and interdisciplinary  
perspectives (within the region and with countries in other regions),  
and which shape and identify new directions in the study of Ukraine.

All materials will be published in bi-annual editions in an open- 
source format available to wide audience at no charge. Krytyka’s  
English edition team will perform the editing for the project, as well  
as translation and copy-editing of submissions in Russian and  
Ukrainian. The Krytyka Institute will host the Journal’s website on  
its new web platform that is currently in development. Krytyka  
reserves all rights to materials published.

ABOUT KRYTYKA

Krytyka, the journal, was founded in 1997 by Ukrainian and American  
intellectuals to promote open and democratic values and high  
international standards of debate. By 2000, Krytyka also started  
publishing books (as Krytyka Press) and in the course of the decade  
has become generally recognized as perhaps the most prestigious  
independent publishing house in Ukraine, specializing both in academic  
books and belles lettres.

The Krytyka Institute was founded in 2003 as a not-for-profit research  
institution to focus Krytyka’s research activities and academic  
goals.  Since then it has organized two major international  
conferences in Kyiv, and a number of academic and cultural symposia  
and events, and published dozens of books on subjects ranging from  
history to literature. Its latest publication is Chronicle of  
Collectivization and the Holodomor in Ukraine, 1927-1933 by Ludmyla  
Hrynevych, a compilation of documents and original research on events  
leading up to the Great Famine of 1932-33.
