Yuriy Shevelov who was also affiliated with Harvard and Columbia Universities is an honorary doctor of Lund University where he taught in 1950 – 1952. By way of commemorating, through more immaterial means, the outstanding researcher and his contribution to knowledge and in order to mark their political standing, today's scholars of Ukraine from Lund and Stockholm intend to publish a peer-reviewed academic anthology raising a number of issues within disciplines and fields of interest to Shevelov.

The editors are announcing a call for papers welcoming all researchers interested in publication to submit the abstracts of the prospective articles and essays to Roman Horbyk (roman.horbyk@sh.se) by 20 December, 2014 (in English). The abstracts of 300 to 500 words should clearly formulate the problem and outline the theoretical and methodological frameworks as well as provide a fresh and innovative solution to it based on empirical study. The authors who will be notified of acceptance by 31 January 2015 will be able to submit their articles (4000 to 8000 words in English) for peer review by 31 May 2015. The volume is expected to come out late in 2015 or early in 2016.

Contributions from the following areas are encouraged especially:

- Ukrainian linguistics in all its departments including but not limited to the study of phonology, dialectology, sociolinguistics of the Ukrainian language as well as language education in Ukraine, from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives;

- general issues in Slavonic philology as well as problems in the study of particular languages, especially those important for the Ukrainian context (i. e., Polish, Yiddish, Belarusian, Russian, Bulgarian etc);

- history of literature and cultural studies of Ukraine and its interaction with other cultures;

- political and social science analysis of the current situation in the country;

- Ukrainian literature, theatre, art in the global context;

- Shevelov's legacy against the backdrop of the latest trends and fundamentals of contemporary linguistics and cultural studies as well as materials for the critical academic biography of the scholar.

Exceptionally excellent submissions from beyond these areas will be considered; same applies for the length requirements. The anthology will be published in English with an extensive Ukrainian summary.
