McGaffey Lecture to Present Ukraine Expert Dr. Andrey Ivanov on April 11
Please join us for the the 4th Annual Jere D. McGaffey Lecture, “Frontiers of Freedom: Negotiating the Nation in Multiethnic Ukraine 1648-1922,” presented by Dr. Andrey V. Ivanov of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. The event will be held at 4pm on Thursday, April 11, 2024 at the UWM Union Wisconsin Room.
The narrative of Ukraine’s 300-year struggle for freedom resounds with the stories and voices of its multiethnic population – such as Jews, Muslim Tatars, Roma, and Poles. Dr. Ivanov’s lecture highlights the coalescence of perspectives of Ukraine’s different ethnic, religious, and political constituencies in the nation’s journey towards independence. A question-and-answer session and a short reception will follow Dr. Ivanov’s presentation. The public is welcome.
