University of Pennsylvania offers three Ukrainian courses

PHILADELPHIA - In the spring semester 2006, the University of Pennsylvania will continue to offer Ukrainian language instruction on both the elementary and intermediate levels.

Elementary Ukrainian - Slavic 591 - will be taught Mondays and Thursdays at 4-6:30 p.m., and Intermediate Ukrainian - Slavic 593 - immediately thereafter, at 6:30-8:30 p.m.

In addition, the university is introducing an undergraduate course on the intellectual history of Ukraine which is scheduled for Wednesdays from 5:30 to 8:40 p.m. This course, Slavic 220, is also cross-listed as History 218 (Topics in Ukrainian History).

The principal text of the course is "Towards an Intellectual History of Ukraine: An Anthology of Ukrainian Thought from 1710 to 1995," edited by Ralph Lindheim and George S.N. Luckyj. To register for this course, prospective students should apply to the College of General Studies (CGS) of the University of Pennsylvania.

The courses are taught by Dr. Leonid Rudnytzky and will feature guest lectures by poets and intellectuals from Ukraine, such as the poet Oleksander Irvanets.
