NEWS OF THE UNWLA LECTURESHIP IN WOMEN'S STUDIES AT UCU SEMINAR ON THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENT IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD As part of the UNWLA Lectureship in Women's St udies at the Ukrainian Catholic University, an open seminar “Women in the Socio - Political Proces ses of the Interwar Period” took place on May 23, 2013 . This time the guest lecturer was histori an Myroslava Diadiuk, a well - known scholar of the Ukrainian women's movement and head of the Manuscript Department at Vasyl' Stefanyk N a- tional Research Library in L'viv. Prof. Diadiuk's lecture placed the pheno m- enon of the Ukrainian women's movement into the broader context of political struggles in Western Ukraine in the interwar period, using the activity of Milena Rudnyts'ka as an example. The lecturer also spoke about Ukrainian women's involvement in international cooperation and about how Ukrainian wo men utilized the experience of Eur o- pean and North American feminist organizations to foster their own identity and to fight for wo m- en's rights in the traditional society of Halychyna . During the question - and - answer period, students and faculty showed a keen interest in the program of women's studies at the UCU. For i n- stance, Professor Vadym Adadurov emphasized that it was important to study the history of the Ukrainian movement in an international context, using comparative methods and the recent a d- vance s in the humanities. In addition, the st u- dents of the Ukrainian Catholic University r e- ceived information about research possibilities in connection with the sources available in L'viv, particularly the archives of Soyuz Ukrainok and Mariis'ka druzhyna , whi ch could yield interesting and innovative topics for term papers and Ma s- ter's theses. Myroslava Diadiuk's research interests i n- clude the history of Soyuz Ukrainok , the rise of the Ukrainian women's movement and its i n- volvement in the socio - political is sues of that time, women's cooperation with political parties and non - governmental organizations during ele c- toral campaigns, and their contribution to the d e- velopment of parliamentarism as well as to the consolidation of Ukrainian society. BISHOP BORYS GUDZIAK: WOMEN HELPED UCU BECOME A MATURE INSTITUTION On June 6th, the Lectureship featured UCU Rector Bishop Borys Gudziak, who outlined 21 years of UCU development, emphasizing what roles women had played in this proc ess. The story told by Bishop Borys Gudziak proceeded by way of memory “snapshots” from different periods and events that were important for UCU, beginning in August of 1992. At the I n- stitute of Church History, which became the basis fo r the creation of the L'viv Theological Academy, and later the UCU, there were only 5 or 6 men out of its 15 - 17 employees. Thus, at that time most of the research into the history of the Church was done by women. “I personally found it very effective to w ork with a team of women who had healthy a m- bitions and did their best to fulfill them. In add i- tion, the presence of women in our team helped us foster an atmosphere of hospitality, which was quite important for our overall success,” shared
