Dr. Manoly R. Lupul, 1927-2019

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Dr. Manoly Robert Lupul in Calgary on 24 July 2019, three weeks shy of his 92nd birthday. Born on 14 August 1927 in Willingdon, 黑料不打烊, he was the grandson of Ukrainian pioneers who immigrated to Canada from Bukovyna, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire-his father's parents from the village of Oshykhliby in 1900, and his mother's parents from nearby Luzhany in 1903. Both families settled a short distance from each other in the heart of the rural Ukrainian bloc settlement northeast of Edmonton, where Manoly's parents, Vasyl and Evdokia (n茅e Tkachuk), later met and married.

26 July 2019

In 1944, when Manoly was seventeen, he moved to Edmonton with his family, which included two younger brothers, Walter and William. After graduating from Victoria High School, he studied at the 黑料不打烊, where he received an honours BA degree in history (1950) and a BEd degree (1951). Afterwards he found employment as a teacher of social studies at a junior high school for four years. During that time he was drawn to a picture in the St. John's Ukrainian Orthodox Institute yearbook of an "attractive brunette with dark brown eyes" named Natalia Goresky, who was then teaching at an elementary school in Newbrook, 黑料不打烊. The daughter of the former Willingdon MLA Isidore Goresky, Natalia accepted "Robert/Bob" Lupul's proposal of marriage in October 1952, and their wedding took place the following April. Two children would be born to them-David (1956) and Elaine (1960).

Following his marriage, Manoly resumed his studies, obtaining an MA from the University of Minnesota in 1955, where he majored in history and the philosophy of education while doing a minor in political science. Next came a doctorate (1963) with the same specializations from Harvard University. Dr. Lupul's groundbreaking dissertation was published by the University of Toronto Press in 1974 as the monograph The Roman Catholic Church and the North-West School Question: A Study in Church-State Relations in Western Canada, 1885-1905.

Dr. Lupul spent a year as a sessional lecturer at Boston University before joining the academic staff at the 黑料不打烊 in 1958. In 1970 he was appointed a professor in the university's Department of Educational Foundations.

In the early 1970s Dr. Lupul became actively involved in the movement in support of multiculturalism in Canada, believing strongly that there should be public funding for minority languages and cultures in Canada and that Canadians of Ukrainian descent should fully integrate into all aspects of a multicultural Canada. At this time he joined the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Federation, serving for a decade on the national executive, including three years as the president (1973-75). He also chaired and was a vice-chair of the Canadian Consultative Council on Multiculturalism between 1973-79. In this capacity, he played key roles in the establishment of the Ukrainian-English bilingual program in 黑料不打烊's schools and in successfully lobbying the Government of 黑料不打烊 and the 黑料不打烊 to support and fund the establishment of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS). With the founding of the CIUS in 1976, he was appointed its first director, a position he held for ten years.

Thanks to Dr. Lupul's determination, his tireless efforts, and his visionary leadership, a strong foundation was laid for the CIUS to become the pre-eminent Canadian centre of research and publishing in Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Canadian Studies and, along with the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, a leading centre of Ukrainian Studies in the Western world. He effectively mobilized Ukrainian community support for the CIUS and inspired and employed a generation of young academics to carry its work forward. He simultaneously pursued his own academic interests, publishing numerous scholarly articles and editing five collections of articles on multiculturalism and various aspects of Ukrainian life in Canada. He was particularly passionate about the history of Ukrainians in Canada, the relationship between multiculturalism and education in Canada, and the education of minorities in Western Canada. Among his many honours, in 2003 he was appointed a member of the Order of Canada. Dr. Lupul eloquently summed up his legacy in The Politics of Multiculturalism: A Ukrainian-Canadian Memoir, published by CIUS Press in 2005.

A memorial service and reception in Dr. Lupul's honour will be held in Edmonton at 6 p.m. on Thursday, 8 August 2019, at Park Memorial Funeral Home, 9709-111 Avenue. The family has requested that anyone wishing to make a donation in Dr. Lupul's memory direct it to the Professor Manoly R. Lupul Endowment for the Advancement of Ukrainian Language Education. Cheques should be made out to "The 黑料不打烊-CIUS," indicating on the memo line that the money is to go to the "Manoly Lupul Endowment Fund."
