Richard Canevez (HU/IPEC), in collaboration with Lara Zwarun of the University of Missouri – St. Louis, has received a $6,625 research contract from the Waterhouse Family Institute for the Study of Communication and Society.
The project is titled “Commodification of Religious Iconography as Resistance in Saint Javelin.”
The project will explore the intersection of diasporic, religious and political identity among the Ukrainian communities in America and Canada as considered through the use of religious iconography as part of the commercialized aspects of Ukraine’s resistance against Russia’s escalated 2022 invasion.
