Dear friends of the UMIH,

We hope that the beginning of the academic year is going well for all of you. We are ready for another great year of exciting activities at the Institute for the Humanities. We are in the process of confirming several events that we will circulate soon. In the meantime, we want to bring to your attention the following event. UMIH Research Affiliate Mariya Shymchyshyn is organizing a one-day symposium honoring Leonid Biletskyi (1882–1955), an influential Ukrainian literary scholar, educator, and cultural leader whose work in Winnipeg left a lasting legacy. This one-day, mixed-format symposium will be held on November 18th, and the keynote address will be delivered at 2:30pm by Prof. Rostyslav Radyshevskyi (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv). We invite submissions for the symposium, see attached pdf with further information.

Stay tuned for more events!
