Registration is now open for a professional discussion on the decolonization of Ukrainian studies in academia, hosted by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA).

This initiative is organized with the support of the Ukrainian Research Institute, Harvard University, Ukrainian World Congress, World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations, and the Kyiv School of Public Administration.
This expert-led panel will examine the persistent dominance of Russian imperial narratives in scholarship, their impact on the field, and concrete steps for transforming university curricula in Ukrainian Studies.
Experts will also discuss the challenges within academia, strategies for fostering long-term change, and the influence of decolonization efforts on public discourse and policy development.
“For centuries, Ukrainian voices in history, literature, and education have been marginalized or erased,” the UNWLA wrote. “Now, as Ukraine fights an existential war, the battle to reclaim its rightful place in academia is more urgent than ever.”
The event will be conducted in English and moderated by Eugenia Kuznetsova, a Ukrainian writer and translator.
Prominent scholars, professors, and experts in Ukrainian studies and related disciplines will take part in the conversation.
