This article discusses a little-known episode of collaboration between Ukrainian intellectuals at Harvard and Pope John Paul II Universities. Based on Polish, Ukrainian and American archival collections, the author shows the degree of entanglement between purely scholarly celebrations of the Millennium of Christianity in Rus’-Ukraine and the new realities of the Vatican’s Eastern Policy under the Polish Pope. The preparations of the conference in Ravenna in 1988, organized by Ukrainian scholars together with Polish and Italian, are contextualized within the evolving geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and the growing cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian intellectual elites.

Affirmative action was introduced to the American universities in the 1960s. The aim of this policy was to benefit the underrepresented groups, especially African Americans both in the higher education and the job market. The affirmative action was introduced to ensure equal opportunities as well as cultural diversity. The policy of Harvard University towards African Americans, Asian Americans and the other excluded groups was analyzed in this article. Moreover, the attempt to reconstruct the current debate about outcomes of the affirmative action was made. The article also tries to answer the following questions: did the affirmative action increase the number of the minority groups at Harvard University? Has the policy of equal opportunities eliminated inequalities or, on the contrary has it deepened them?

Roman Jakobson i amerykańskie studia slawistyczne: pierwsza dekada powojenna Uczeni, którzy oceniali spuściznę Romana Jakobsona, koncentrowali się na jego wkładzie w różne dyscypliny naukowe, natomiast ci, którzy go znali, którzy byli jego studentami lub współpracownikami, pisali o jego retorycznej wirtuozerii i wpływie jako wykładowcy. W niniejszym artykule skupiono się na mało zbadanym aspekcie jego biografii zawodowej: sposobach, jakimi w okresie od połowy lat czterdziestych do połowy lat pięćdziesiątych emigracyjny uczony realizował ambitny projekt rozwoju slawistyki jako dyscypliny w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Działalność Jakobsona w zakresie budowania instytucji, obmyślana w okresie pracy na Uniwersytecie Columbia, została rozpoczęta po jego przeprowadzce w 1949 r. na Uniwersytet Harvarda do nowego Wydziału Slawistycznego. Prywatna grupa, Committee for Advanced Slavic Cultural Studies, z którą uczony był blisko związany, odegrała znaczącą rolę we wspieraniu programu Harvardu, a szerzej – w rozwoju amerykańskiej slawistyki jako dyscypliny

Scholars who have assessed Roman Jakobson’s legacy have concentrated on his contributions to various scientific disciplines, while those who knew him, who had been his students or his colleagues, have written about his rhetorical virtuosity, his impact as a lecturer. The present article focuses on a little-studied aspect of his professional biography: the ways in which, during the period mid-1940s to mid-1950s, the émigré scholar carried out an ambitious project to develop Slavic studies (Slavistics, slavistika) as a discipline in the United States. Jakobson’s institution-building activities, conceptualized while he was teaching at Columbia University, were implemented following his move in 1949 to the new Slavic Department at Harvard University. A private group, the Committee for Advanced Slavic Cultural Studies, with which he was closely connected, played a significant role in supporting the Harvard program, and, more broadly, helping develop American Slavistics as a discipline.
