About the Course

The Holodomor, one of the major tragedies of the twentieth century, became the subject of serious study only since the fall of the USSR. In this course you will explore recent research through the prisms of colonialism, empire, genocide, famine and food security, (dis)information dissemination, and Ukrainian-Russian relations. Famine as Genocide in the 20th Century: The Case of the Holodomor makes the case that the Holodomor is crucial to understanding Ukrainian, Soviet, European, and world history, as well as current events. This course was developed by the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium, a project of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta, with the generous support of the Helen and Paul Baszucki Family and the Temerty Foundation....

This course was truly a meaningful learning experience. I loved that not only were facts and statistics used, but also art, poetry, videos, and eyewitness accounts. I think that anyone who teaches a course on genocide, or anyone who is interested in imperial famines, or in the history of Ukraine , would benefit greatly from taking this course. Top quality research and professional, highly polished presentation. Also, the course is interactive in nature, so there is no passive learning here - it is a dynamic and method of familiarizing oneself with the Holodomor. Superb.

This was an excellent course. I believe the material was presented such that the knowledge will be retained. The lessons learned are very transferable to other world events, past and present.
