*** Deadline extended ***

The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the �������� is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year. On 14-15 October 2016, it will be holding a two-day conference at the �������� entitled "Ukrainian Studies in Canada: Texts and Contexts." Scholars from Canada and abroad will be participating in five round tables on the following topics: "Foundations of Ukrainian Studies," "New Challenges for Ukrainian Studies," "Ukrainian-Canadian Studies," "Teaching Ukrainian Studies," and "Community Outreach."

CIUS is making available a limited number of travel awards to enable graduate students outside Edmonton to attend the conference at the ��������. The awards will cover travel to and from Edmonton, accommodation (up to three nights), and meals at the conference.

To be eligible, students must be registered in a graduate-level program of study in the humanities or social sciences at a post-secondary institution in Canada.

At the conference, recipients of the award would be given the right of asking the first questions. Awardees will be expected to design and display a poster of up to 600 words describing their research, and, after the conference, to remit to CIUS a text of 300 words or more containing their insights and reflections about the two-day scholarly encounter. Expenses associated with the production of the poster will be reimbursed up to the sum of $40.00.

Letters of application, accompanied by a CV/résumé, a copy of graduate-level transcripts, and a short dissertation or thesis précis (up to 250 words), should be submitted by 29 July 2016 to the following email address: scipko@ualberta.ca. Successful applicants will be notified by 12 August 2016.
