US-UA “Working Group” Initiative
The US-Ukraine “Working Group” Initiative was launched in 2007 in order to secure an array of experts in "areas of interest” for CUSUR and its various forums/proceedings; at the same time, it was hoped that the ‘experts’ might agree to write a series of ‘occasional papers’ to identify “major issues” impacting on US-Ukrainian relations. |

DC Occasional Briefings Series
CUSUR did not turn its attention to having a DC presence until summer 2012.

UA Historical Encounters—Taking Measure of the Holodomor |

A Special UA Historical Encounters Series Event took place in NYC on November 5-6, 2013. The two day long conference, entitled: Taking Measure of the Holodomor, was held at three different venues: the Princeton University Club, the Ukrainian Museum and the Ukrainian Institute of America. Nearly 60 presenters, all well regarded either in the field of Holodomor Studies or Genocide Studies, took on the task of providing answers to the basic questions concerning the great Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of 1932-1933: why? how? where? who carried out, who suffered? how many suffered? etc.
