Dr. David Livingstone from Palacký University in Olomouc, Czechia visited our university once again and gave a series of talks to students at the Department of English Philology. Dr. Livingstone previously spent three months with us last spring semester.
The latest visit consisted of not only a two week stay in Ivano-Frankivsk, but also lectures delivered in Lviv, Kyiv, Chernivtsi and Ternopil. Dr. Livingstone’s talks here concerned British Modernism, Ernest Hemingway and the Shor 2000 t Story, American history through Folk Music and conversational topics about education and the English language.
Dr. Livingstone has also been cooperating on co-authoring academic articles with members of both the English department and the theatre/music department.
During his stay, he discussed further cooperation including expanding the Erasmus+ exchange programme to other departments and faculties. There were also fruitful talks concerning projects sponsored by the Visegrad group and other international organisations.
Dr. Livingstone is a dedicated supporter of not only our university but also Ukraine in general and looks forward to his next visit and continued cooperation.
