When did you come to the U.S.? What are some of your academic and teach- ing interests? I was born and grew up in L’viv—a city in Western Ukraine that played a major role in the Ukrainian cultural revival in the late Soviet era and eventually in the move- ment for Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. In those early years of independence, I participated in a student exchange program called FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) sponsored by the US State Depart- ment in an effort to build better relationships with the former Soviet republics. This program brought me to the United States for the first time: for ten months I lived with an American host family and studied at a public high school. In many ways, this program determined book project based on my dissertation. I also hope to my future path in life—upon my return to L’viv, I chose have a chance to teach a course on contemporary Slavic to major in English and English-Ukrainian translation at women’s writing sometime in the future. the university, and in the early 2000s I decided to return Besides literature, I also have strong research and to the United States for graduate work in languages and teaching interests in second language studies and Slavic literature. languages pedagogy. The learning and teaching of foreign I started out with comparative literature and English languages has been my passion and my chief occupation as one of my languages, but gradually moved from that to for many years. Before Slavic languages, I was trained Slavic languages and literatures—in part because I saw as a teacher of English as a foreign language in Ukraine. for myself how little was known about Ukraine and its The vast research base and the plethora of instructional culture in the United States and wanted to do something resources available to TEFL professionals worldwide about it. Approaches to literary and cultural analysis in can make any Slavist feel both jealous and helpless. American academia gave me a fresh perspective on the At the same time, I find it exciting to have a chance to literary classics and various cultural phenomena from contribute to a smaller field in which every article and home, which is why I decided to write my dissertation every pedagogical material truly counts.

  • Statement by the Delegation of the Republic of Uzbekistan at the Meeting of the Osce Permanent Council
    PC.DEL/474/04 8 June 2004 ENGLISH Original: RUSSIAN STATEMENT BY THE DELEGATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN AT THE MEETING OF THE OSCE PERMANENT COUNCIL 8 June 2004 Mr. Chairman, At the Permanent Council meeting on 27 May this year our delegation, replying to a statement by the representative of Ireland, expressed its willingness to inform the Uzbek authorities of the concern felt by European Union countries regarding the death in custody, in Uzbekistan, of the condemned recidivist A. Shelkovenko, held on suspicion of murder and convicted on three previous occasions. I should like, briefly, to inform the members of the Permanent Council about the circumstances of the case. As is well known, the initiators of this diffusion by the media of unchecked and unconfirmed information concerning torture allegedly inflicted on the suspect A. Shelkovenko were representatives of the embassies of certain participating States and also the NGO “Human Rights Watch”. On 25 May 2004 the Uzbek Government approved the conduct of a further forensic medical examination of the prisoner in the presence of a special commission composed of representatives of the Republic’s law-enforcement bodies, representatives of the NGO Freedom House and international specialists invited by the latter, including: — Mjuse Sever, Freedom House Director in Uzbekistan; — Victor Jackovich, Freedom House consultant and former United States Ambassador in Bosnia and Herzegovina; — M. Sven Pollelan, Member of the Pathological-Anatomical Department of the Chief Prosecutor’s Office, Ontario, Canada. We consider it important to make the point that the independent examination carried out on 27 May confirmed the conclusions reached during the initial forensic medical examination carried out by Uzbek specialists on 19 May 2004, namely that Shelkovenko’s death had resulted from suicide.
