Paul Magocsi
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: History, sociolinguistics, national identity, bibliography, cartography
PAUL ROBERT MAGOCSI, professor in the Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Toronto has worked extensively on the question of national identity and how ethnolinguistic groups develop into nationalities. Although he is an historian by training, his publications on different nationalities in East Central Europe and in the immigrant diaspora reflect a multidisciplinary approach that employs techniques from fields such as sociolinguistics, human geography, political thought,and bibliography as well as cultural and political history. His innovative writings about Ukraine are based on the territorial principle, so that the history of a given country is seen as the sum of all its peoples and not just as the evolution of the dominant or state nationality. This approach has helped set the research agendas of many colleagues who also have begun to recognize the multicultural reality of most societies in the world.
