Tarik C. Amar received his Ph.D. in history from Princeton University in 2006. Amar will spend four months at Harvard (February 2006-May 2007) to work on the topic "The Making of Soviet Lviv, 1939 to 1963." His study will address the question of the making of a distinct Soviet Western Ukrainian identity by looking at how a Soviet Ukrainian Lviv was fashioned out of the prewar Polish-dominated and multiethnic Lwów.
