Lidia Stefanowska, a senior researcher in the Slavic Division of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, is a longtime colleague of HURI. She received her Ph.D. in 1999 from Harvard University in Ukrainian and Polish literatures and has taught at the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (2001). She will spend three months at Harvard (September–November 2005) to work on the topic "Between Vision and Construction: The Poetics of Bohdan Ihor Antonych." Stefanowska hopes to gain a better understanding of the conception of the poet as manifested in Antonych's work and to analyze Antonych's poetic language.
