Professor Robert Frost has been awarded £67,500 by the Ukrainian History Global Initiative (UHGI) to join around 90 scholars invited to contribute to this three-year project. The award will enable replacement of Robert’s teaching duties for the academic year 2024-25.
The UHGI is an international charity, registered in the UK, whose aim is to explore Ukraine’s place in global history across the ages in the light of the current war.
Professor Frost is contributing a reassessment of the historical relationship of the Ukrainian lands and their peoples with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland from the Mongol invasions of the mid-thirteenth century until the 1667 Treaty of Andrusovo, the first partition of Ukraine.
Prof Frost will also receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Białystok in a ceremony on 16 September.
