Anna Bisikalo will discuss the social and political history of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) after WWII in Ukraine (where it was banned and its members forcibly converted to Orthodoxy) and in Poland (where its members were resettled across the country and dispersed). Bisikalo will focus on how the historically multicultural Galician region - the borderland between Poland and Ukraine - was transformed once it was split between two modernizing communist states. She will also explore how the UGCC was targeted by Soviet and Polish authorities for different reasons involving the church-state configurations in their respective nations.
The Graduate Student Research Workshop is a seminar for graduate students at Harvard University and MIT to present their research to peers and faculty with an interest in European studies. This student-run, student-centered workshop welcomes presenters from any social science discipline who are at any stage of their research.
To join the seminar mailing list, please contact the seminar chairs. Papers will be distributed to participants via email in advance. For a schedule of upcoming workshops see here. This schedule will be updated throughout the academic year.
