LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Language, literature part of Ukrainian studies

Dear Editor:

Re: "Ukrainian studies at University of Toronto now part of European program" by Oksana Zakydalsky (October 30).

I was delighted to read about Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto. However, to avoid confusion, I would like to point out that Ukrainian studies at the University of Toronto is not limited to the Jacyk and Danyliv programs that have been amalgamated into the new Center for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies.

Ukrainian studies at the university go back over 40 years and include programs (both teaching and research) still fortuitously housed in the department of Slavic languages and literatures and in the Chair of Ukrainian Studies.

The popularity of contemporary Ukrainian politics in current scholarship is a very welcome development but Ukrainian studies has not yet lost its other, more traditional branches.

Prof. Maxim Tarnawsky
