Subject: [SEELANGS] Ukrainian Language and Area Studies in L'viv

June 5 - July 21, 2006
The 6-week program offers a unique opportunity for participants to study
intensive Ukrainian language and area studies (political transition,
society, economics, culture, etc.) in L'viv. Instruction is provided by
regular faculty of L'viv National University who have experience teaching
American students, and a KU faculty director accompanies the students and
oversees the program. In addition to taking language and area courses,
students will work with individual L'viv faculty on a research topic
associated with their field of concentration, and the program offers a
round-table discussion with representatives of several Ukrainian political
parties. The program includes numerous excursions in and around L'viv as
well as excursions to  the capital city of Kyiv, the Carpathian mountains
(with visits to Mukacheve and Uzhorod), and to the medieval castle of
Olesko.  Participants stay with host families, thus allowing the students
further immersion for the advancement of their language skills.

The program is open to graduate students and upper-level undergraduates who
have completed three years of college-level Russian (or equivalent) and/or
intermediate Ukrainian language, and who have demonstrated interest in
current social science and humanistic topics. Students will receive 9 hours
of KU academic credit, which will appear on their transcripts as: UKRA 516
Intensive Ukrainian, UKRA 675 Readings: Language and Culture, and REES 895
Special Problems in Russian and East European Area Studies: Ukraine.

Since this program meets all Department of Education requirements for
intensive summer language programs, eligible graduate students may use FLAS
Summer Fellowships. The deadline for applications is February 17 (inquire
with the KU Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies if late
applications will be accepted).  For more information and to download an
application, visit http://www.crees.ku.edu/Funding/summer_flas.pdf.

The deadline for applications is March 1, 2006.  Graduate students applying
for a FLAS fellowship are highly encouraged to apply for the summer program
before they receive news of their award.  For more information and to
