•         Identity and Regionalism;
•         National Security, Foreign Relations, Diaspora;
•         Language (translation, bilingualism, etc.);
•         Literature, Film, and Media;
•         New Approaches to National History and the Politics of Memory.

The
 Symposium is open to graduate students and recent PhD holders from 
North America and Europe. Please submit an abstract (maximum 400 words) 
and the attached curriculum vitae form to ukrainian.gradsymposium@utoronto.ca by Oct. 10, 2011. Details and updates will be available on our website http://www.utoronto.ca/jacyk/gss2012/index.html .
