Celtic and Scottish Studies Seminar Series: Peter Kormylo In brief Date - 26 January 2024 Venue - Online Speaker - Dr Peter Kormylo (writer, translator and educator) Title - 'Scotland's Ukrainians: Their Story' Email Neill Martin for joining details About the event This talk takes its title from an illustrated volume which Dr Peter Kormylo recently published, based on the doctoral research he carried out at the University of Glasgow and his own experience as the son of Ukrainian and Scottish parents. In it, he has traced the history of incomers to Scotland from Ukraine over several past generations into the present time. His father came to Scotland as a Prisoner of War, working on farms in the south-west of the country, and his mother belonged to a family whose members were well versed in the works of Robert Burns. Both cultures have shaped his life and his interests, and his seminar includes a timely taste of the rich story of Ukrainian translations of Burns' works.
