About
Thanks to the support of the Ukrainian diaspora, HURI is now a leading center for interdisciplinary research on Ukraine.
Our Mission
To advance knowledge of Ukraine through teaching, research, and publication in the humanities and the social sciences at Harvard and worldwide
The Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University (HURI) was established to advance knowledge of Ukraine in the United States and abroad through research and teaching, particularly in history, language, and literature. With Ukraine's independence, our mission has broadened to include contemporary political, social, and economic issues.
Our History
Founded in June 1973, the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University (commonly known as HURI) serves as a focal point for graduate and undergraduate students, fellows, and associates pursuing research in Ukrainian language, literature, and history as well as in anthropology, archaeology, art history, economics, political science, sociology, theology, and other disciplines.
