Columbia offers Ukrainian courses

NEW YORK - Columbia University and The Harriman Institute will offer courses in elementary and intermediate Ukrainian in the spring semester. In addition to the Ukrainian language, students will have the opportunity to learn something about Ukrainian culture, folklore and tradition.

The classes will meet twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays - elementary Ukrainian at 4:10 to 5:25 p.m. and Intermediate Ukrainian at 6:10 to 7:25 p.m. - in Hamilton Hall. Students from universities which are a part of the Columbia University Consortium (e.g., New York University) pay no tuition and receive full credit.

For further information call the Slavic Department, (212) 854-3941; or the Harriman Institute, (212) 854-4623; or send an e-mail to ab476@columbia.edu.

The Harriman Institute at Columbia University will also offer the course "Language Development in Post-Totalitarian Space" (call No.U6888), taught by Dr. Antonina Berezovenko. The course examines various dimensions of language development in the post-totalitarian space. While the main concentration of the course will be on current processes in language development, it will also consider problems from a diachronical perspective, extending to the Soviet and imperial period. The course will take as its focal point three major case studies: Ukraine, Belarus, and the Russian language within and outside Russia.

The syllabus is available on the homepage of the Harriman Institute, and may be accessed at the following: http://sipa.columbia.edu/REGIONAL/III/home.html. For further information call (212) 854-4623 or e-mail ab476@columbia.edu.

The spring semester begins January 22, and registration must be completed between January 15 and 18.
