The American Association for Ukrainian Studies

The American Association for Ukrainian Studies (AAUS) is a registered non-profit educational organization founded in 1989 and dedicated to furthering knowledge about Ukraine, popularizing Ukrainian studies, providing career-building resources to its members, and making the intellectual resources of the organization available to the media and general public. The AAUS membership includes scholars and students primarily from the United States and Canada, although there are also European and international members, as well as members from Ukraine.  AAUS is the American affiliate of the International Association for Ukrainian Studies (IAUS, or MAU in Ukrainian), and is also an affiliate of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) and the Association for the Study of Nationalities (ASN).

AAUS is governed by an elected Executive Board comprised of a President, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, and At-Large members. AAUS holds membership meetings twice a year, during the annual conventions of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) in the fall and Association for the Study of Nationalities (ASN) in the spring. Since 1990, AAUS publishes a newsletter, “The AAUS Visnyk,” which currently appears annually in an electronic format. To further its goal of fostering scholarship in the various fields of Ukrainian studies, the organization awards annual prizes for the best book and the best article in the fields of Ukrainian history, politics, language, literature, and culture, as well as a prize for the translation from Ukrainian into English. AAUS maintains a website, mailing list, Facebook page and Twitter presence, sponsors panels at the ASEEES annual conventions, and coordinates the participation of American Ukrainianists in the International Association for Ukrainian Studies (IAUS, or MAU in Ukrainian) congresses.
