Our center would like to echo your comments regarding the necessity for students to become aware of events outside of the United States (There’s a world outside the United States that matters, Thursday, January 27, 2005). As luck would have it, the Center for Russian and East European Studies organized a series of Ukrainian events during the Fall 2004 semester just as the country was beginning this transition toward a more democratic form of government.
CREES organized a lively roundtable discussion that included these experts, in addition to faculty from KU who have Ukrainian ties — Alexandre Skiba in Economics — or have conducted extensive research in the region — Erik Herron and Paul D’Anieri, Political Science.
Indeed, Dr. Herron served as an election observer for the Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe during the first round of presidential elections in Ukraine.
During the past decade, KU has expended considerable time, effort, and funding in developing a vibrant Ukrainian language and culture studies program that is now recognized as one of the best in the nation. More than a cliché, the ripples from the dramatic democratic changes in Ukraine during the past three months have started resonating throughout the world and KU students have an obligation to remain informed.
