Introducing virtual Maria Sonevytsky

Hey internet, I've made a website called mariasonevytsky.com where I'll be logging all of my current and past projects. Please visit me there!

In other fabulous news, I am all set to distribute my dissertation this coming Monday. I cannot express how happy this makes me. I spent a few hours today culling through my photos and collected archival images from 2008-2009, feeling intensely nostalgic. I share with you a few at my random and impetuous choice.

An old Polish postcard advertising a kolyba in Hutsul'shchyna. Calisthenics!

An amazing archival image given to me by Rustem Eminov of the Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray - of a student Crimean Tatar ensemble (that included his grandmother, Zeyneb Lumanova) in 1933 in Simferopol.

There are a billion more, but you'll have to read the diss to see those. Ha! I dare you.
