Schreyer Fellowship recipient named

TORONTO - The Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto has recently announced that Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk is the recipient of the Edward Schreyer Fellowship in Ukrainian Studies for the current academic year.

The post-doctoral fellowship, which carries a stipend of $5,000 is awarded annually to a candidate doing research that will result in published work on some aspect of Ukrainian studies.

This year's recipient, Dr. Luciuk, was born in 1953 in Kingston, Ont. In 1984 he was awarded a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Alberta, where he completed a doctoral dissertation on Ukrainian refugees in Canada after World War II.

Dr. Luciuk's main research interests are in Ukrainian-Canadian studies. He has published a history of Ukrainians in Kingston, "Ukrainians in the Making" (1980), and has edited the memoirs of Bohdan Panchuk that appeared under the title "Heroes of Their Day" (1983).

He has also served for two years (1982-84) as research associate for the Oral History Project at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies in Alberta and as a research assistant at the Multicultural History Society of Ontario.

Because of other doctoral awards, Dr. Luciuk will hold the Schreyer Fellowship only during the fall 1984 term. His current projects include preparing his doctoral dissertation for publication; editing the memoirs of Ukrainian-Canadian activist Stanley W. Frolick; and completing an atlas of Ukrainians in Canada.
