Supporting SOVEREIGNTY through SCHOLARSHIP It has been a tremendous honor to administer the IU-Ukraine Nonresidential Scholars Program, which during the 2022-2023 academic year provided 35 exceptional scholars in Ukraine unique financial, logistical, and informational resources. This support enabled our colleagues to continue their cutting-edge research and teaching in difficult wartime conditions. I am grateful to the members of the program steering committee, Drs. Svitlana Melnyk and Russell Valentino, and to all the IU faculty members who agreed to serve as partner-liaisons for our Ukrainian colleagues in the program.

We have all taken a momentous journey together this year. We forged a strong and supportive intellectual community through monthly research seminars and the 2023 virtual IU Taras Shevchenko Ukrainian Studies Conference, and through the many relationships and networks that emerged through various collaborations and activities. The program was made possible through generous funding from the IU Provost’s Office and several other campus units; the sharing of resources fostered by the exceptional

IU Libraries administration, faculty, and staff has provided a true lifeline for our colleagues in Ukraine. We are delighted that the 2022-23 Scholars’ access to the IU Libraries’ e-resources will continue for another year, and that we can invite a new cohort of IU-Ukraine Nonresidential Scholars for academic year 202324. Most of the 2022-23 cohort will stay on as continuing scholars in the program and will serve as mentors to the incoming 2023-24 scholars. Our IUUkraine community will grow, and it will grow stronger.

To the 2022-23 cohort— Indiana University and the “Hoosier state” of Indiana continues to stand with Ukraine.

Once a Hoosier, always a Hoosier— you are all, now and forever, Indiana Hoosiers. The Indianapolis-born writer Kurt Vonnegut once wrote, “I don’t know what it is about Hoosiers, but wherever you go there is always a Hoosier doing something very important there.”

You, dear colleagues, are living proof that Vonnegut was right. We wish you every success in your scholarship, your teaching, your community service, and in your continued fight for freedom and democracy.

Oleksiy Kandyuk Oleksiy Kandyuk is president of the Institute for Social Research “Chronos,” in Kyiv. He is also Vice-Chairman on Research and International Media, and Director of EU Neighborhood and Association Initiative for the Information Agency NEWSSKY MEDIA. His research during the IU-Ukraine Nonresidential Scholars Program focused on mapping out four EU accession scenarios for Ukraine.

PROJECTS Based on research conducted during the residency, Kandyuk created a website, “Platform of Expertise,” under the auspices of the European Research Group of Support for Ukrainian Membership in the EU (ERGOSUM): https://ergosum-europa.eu/en/ The ERGOSUM project aims to help solve problems and overcome potential obstacles that may arise in Ukraine in such areas as the rule of law, governance and economy, democracy and governance, and may hinder the Europeanization of the country.

The project seeks to prevent a rollback of Ukraine’s legal-administrative and institutional capacities to assume the obligations of the EU. Thanks to its activities, the project will also expand expert capabilities, which will become an important basis for Ukraine’s transition from candidate status to full membership and will provide professional support along the way.

“I believe that the main positive impact of the program is that it helped Ukrainian scientists not to be left alone with the uncertainty of the war period. It helped researchers to continue doing what they were doing before the war and to do it better, by using the resources of Indiana University. Someone was able to finish the book, someone wrote articles in collaboration with a professor of IU, someone like me managed to finish a research project that had begun before the war.”

IU supports UKRAINE We are thrilled to see this program continue and honored to support this important work, providing funding and resources that allow Ukrainian scholars to remain in the region while they continue to advance their research, writing, and teaching activities.

Connecting these brave scholars to a global community of engaged faculty provides opportunities for ongoing collaboration that is critical to enabling the academic community in Ukraine to remain active, involved, and prepared to assist in rebuilding their beloved country. As part of the larger international community, we hope that strengthening education and the open exchange of ideas will ultimately increase regional and global peace and stability.

My time as a fellow allowed me to conduct a comprehensive study of the current state of the cultural heritage of Ukraine and the challenges it faces during the war. The program provided me with the opportunity to engage with an interdisciplinary community. In addition, I gained access to the IU Libraries, providing me with a vast collection of books and articles that are often difficult to find in Ukraine.

Through my interactions with my IU faculty partner, Dr. Gardner Bovingdon, I was able to broaden my understanding of the subject and identify new promising areas for my research. His feedback and recommendations were invaluable in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of my project. I have found his advice to be extremely useful in further developing my research.”

“The IU-Ukraine nonresidential scholars program has contributed to my professional development in several ways. I learned some subtleties of US scholarship, discussed my work, and pursued the possibility for asking for future reference letters which is extremely important for my career. I explored possible professional steps forward, including in the area of Memory Studies (about MSA membership, field peer-review journals, MSA conferences) and intersection of memory and democracy in some research projects. There are also practical plans for further communication and collaboration in the next academic year.

It is important to feel the support of the US scholars all this time. My collaboration with IU faculty was amazing, providing insightful and supportive communication that particularly matters in wartime, and for my professional growth.”

“For me, the IU-Ukraine Nonresidential Scholars Program has had both a supportive and developmental effect. Firstly, it is moral, financial and informational support, which is necessary for Ukrainian scientists in the current conditions. The ability to borrow virtually from the IU libraries and access so many digital resources helped me a lot.

Secondly, there was interdisciplinary development, thanks to well-organized scientific seminars with presentations by program participants.

“My research on women’s military service during World War II is not funded by any of the Ukrainian institutions with which I am affiliated, so I am sincerely grateful to Indiana University Bloomington for its support. Without this support, I would not have been able to defend my doctoral dissertation (Dr. habilitation) amid the war, as I would have had to look for additional income instead, amid falling wages and rising prices due to the war.”

“The Indiana University program was my first experience of international scientific communication.

“Thank you very much for your strong support and the opportunity to continue participating in the Indiana University Ukrainian Scholars Program!

Your solidarity with Ukraine, empathy, and financial support for Ukrainian scholars in a difficult period of war is extremely important, as it allows us to feel included in the scientific life of the global and Ukrainian studies community.

I am convinced that the assistance and cooperation of American colleagues, the interaction of last year’s fellows and the new cohort of fellows at workshops and seminars will yield truly significant scientific results.”

“My participation in a program gave me the unique opportunity to advance my research on the role of Ukrainian nineteenth-century poetry in the formation of national imaginaries and constructing national identity.

The greatest advantage is having access to library resources, which helps me to deepen my knowledge and advance ‘geocritical’ understandings of the literary representation of space, place, and landscape. Participation in the 4th Annual Taras Shevchenko Conference during March 23-25 became a highly valued experience as well. I highly appreciate the enthusiasm and the passion that the IU program coordinators’ team put into their work.”
