CFP - Ukrainians in Canada at the time of the Second World War

[Natalie Kononenko]

Dear Fellow List members,

The Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies has begun planning Volume
3 of the Ukrainians in Canada series and we are soliciting
contributions.  The planned book will cover the period of the Second
World War (approximate dates: 1939-1947) and will examine the
Ukrainian Canadian experience during this important and formative
period.

The focus will be on Canada and the war experience of Canadians of
Ukrainian heritage.  The topics we plan to cover will include, but are
not limited to, the following:

1)  Ukrainian Canadians serving in the Canadian Armed Forces
2)  Coverage of the Ukrainian war experience in the Canadian press,
both English-language publications and the periodic press written in
Ukrainian.
3) Press coverage of events in Ukraine.
4) Rural to urban migration, a phenomenon accelerated by the war.
5) The roles of women and how they changed as men went to battle.
6)  Ukrainian organizations, including the founding of the Ukrainian
Canadian Committee, which later became the Ukrainian Canadian
Congress.
7) The impact of the war on the Ukrainian churches in Canada.
8) The relationship between the Ukrainian-Canadian community and the government.

If you would like to propose a chapter on one of the topics above or
on another topic that was important to the Ukrainian Canadian
experience during this time period, please write to us off list.
Contact Natalie Kononenko (nataliek at ualberta.ca) or Serge Cipko
(scipko at ualberta.ca)

To be considered as an author of one of the book chapters, please
submit BY MARCH 31:
1) a tentative chapter title
2) a chapter abstract, approximately 100-150 words in length.

We will notify potential contributors by April 7 and let them know
whether their proposal has been accepted.

Completed chapters will be due to the editors by October 1, 2014.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed and all contributors will be asked
to review one submission by another contributor.  Publication of the
completed volume is scheduled to coincide with the sesquicentennial of
confederation and the 125th anniversary of the first arrival of
Ukrainians in Canada.
