Communism and Hunger Conference: The Soviet, Kazakh, Ukrainian and Chinese Famines in Comparative Perspective

*NOTE stipend availability for grad students/early career scholars

University of Toronto, September 26–27, 2014

Research on the great political famines of the twentieth century has made significant progress, thanks to increased access to formerly closed archives and the collective efforts of the international scholarly community. We now have a more or less accurate picture of the causes, dynamics, demographic impact and consequences of the pan-Soviet famine of 1931–1933, the Ukrainian Holodomor, the Kazakh great hunger and the terrible famine in China produced by the Great Leap Forward in 1959–1961.
