Ukraine and the World is a research program dedicated to fostering intellectual enquiry about Ukraine in a global context. It encourages research that aims to reconsider Ukrainian history, society, and culture through a global lens—and vice versa—and explores trans-geographic and cross-chronological linkages in thinking about life during and after the Russo-Ukrainian War.
With this program, the IWM continues its decade-long engagement with Ukraine. Ukraine and the World is the successor to the Ukraine in European Dialogue program, while Documenting Ukraine, which was launched in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, becomes an integral component of the new program.
Key components of the program include:
- Lesia Ukraïnka residential fellowships, offered to scholars addressing global issues through reference to Ukrainian experiences.
- Documenting Ukraine grants, awarded to Ukrainian scholars, writers, journalists, archivists, and other intellectuals chronicling the Russo-Ukrainian War and its implications for Ukrainian culture and society.
- The Documenting Ukraine archival project, aimed at developing an innovative digital preservation model for the materials created within the scope of the Documenting Ukraine project.
- Partnerships with the Lviv Center for Urban History, the Public History Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, and the Ukrainian History Global Initiative.
