Welcome to my teaching web site!
Here you will find information that pertains to the courses I teach. The first section is devoted to my teaching philosophy and the goals I pursue when I teach culture, language and literature.
In the second section, titled "Language Courses," you will lean about Beginner's Ukrainian I & II (UKR 111-112) and The Ukrainian Speaking World I & II (UKR 211-212).
The third section, titled "For Children," presents the course Children's Literature in Ukrainian (UKR 405 and UKR 505).
The fourth section, "Pre-secular Culture," is devoted to the following courses:

The section "Mysticism" is devoted to an interdisciplinary course I have recently introduced. Titled Mysticism in Literature and the Arts: East and West (MLCS 431 and MLCS 531), this course will be taught in winter of 2011 by a team of scholars from various departments in the Faculty of Arts, including MLCS. Many members of the teaching team contribute to the Religious Studies Advisory Council.
The sixth section, "Diaspora & Dissent," discusses UKR 474 and UKR 574. They are devoted to Ukrainian culture and literature produced after 1917 and before the collapse of the USSR.
