Graduate and PhD Programme "Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore", University of Alberta

The Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore invites applications to the graduate program in Ukrainian Folklore based in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, University of Alberta. The program offers both the MA and PhD degrees. Courses cover the verbal arts, both prose and poetry, material culture, dance, ritual practices in Ukraine and Canada, folklore theory and methodology, and folk belief. Students may choose fieldwork in either Ukraine or Canada or a combination of the two. A recent agreement with the Rylskyi Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences should expand field and archival research possibilities in Ukraine. Students and researchers benefit from the substantial collections of our Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archives, and from rich local community resources.

Opportunities for language training are excellent, and students may include study in Lviv as part of their training. Courses in related fields include humanities computing, anthropology, museum studies, and ethnomusicology, along with a wide range of choices in other departments. Our degrees prepare students for a variety of interesting jobs and recent graduates have found employment in academe, in museums and historical preservation facilities, in archives, as creative artists, and in the public sector.


Graduate support is generous and students typically work as teaching assistants and/or research assistants. Research assistantships include database and archival work and thus contribute to training and employability.
