Research project at the Kolleg

Ukrainian Post-war Academic Emigration: Scholars in Search of Professional Realization, 1945-1955

The project aimsto study the activity of Ukrainian scholars in exile in the late 1940s and early 1950s and their strategies for inclusion in academic life in Western Europe, the United States, and Canada or closure in the Ukrainian scholarly environment. I will discuss two parallel processes: the emigrants’ attempts to restore the old academic institutions, often accompanied by the resuscitation of the old political and personal conflicts, and their attempts to integrate into Western professional environments. The focus will be on Ukrainian historians and lawyers, and their participation in developing Ukrainian scholarly institutions in exile. Some of them moved to the American continent, and some stayed in Europe (Germany, France, Belgium, etc.). However, close cooperation, joint projects, exchange of experience, and mutual aid continued to exist between the different groups of researchers who initially clustered around UVU in Prague and Munich. An important question is how these people adjusted their lives, how family members perceived the move and new circumstances, and how male scholars were helped by their wives, who often compared the situation in which they lived in the past with what awaited them in the new place. The female view of the new life, which they articulated in personal correspondence, often illuminates the new realities of life in more detail than the male one. In addition to academic goals, the project has a societal dimension, determined by the importance of the problem of integration of immigrants into a new society.
