The paper presents a scholarly profile of professor Stefaniia Andrusiv, paying specific attention to
her achievements in the fields of research and education during her work at the John Paul II Catholic
University of Lublin. In 2001 professor Andrusiv started her work at the Institute of Slavic Philology
and in the academic year 2005/2006 became the head of the newly founded Department of Ukrainian
literature holding this post until 2013. The scholar took an active part in popularizing Ukrainian studies
in Poland and was very concerned about developing Polish-Ukrainian dialogue. In the course of her
fruitful work at the university professor Andrusiv met different research and educational challenges
and proposed many valuable initiatives. She effectively used contemporary research trends, such
as postmodern methodology, the theory of intertextuality, the literary theory of narratology, as well as
anthropology and postcolonial criticism.
As far as her didactic work is concerned, professor Andrusiv delivered very interesting, thoughtprovoking
lectures on the history of Ukrainian literature. Her professional approach was much
appreciated not only by her students but by academic staff as well. The lectures on cultural studies,
master’s and doctoral seminars belong to her didactic achievements and constitute a valuable
heritage of education. It should be underlined that under the supervision of professor Andrusiv twelve
students have successfully defended their Ph.D. dissertations and the majority of them continue their
scholarly work. Professor Andrusiv never was afraid of making experiments, finding new solutions and
approaches. Her mind was very flexible, creative and free of any obstructive restraints.
