Iryna Ponomaryova

Dr. hab., professor and researcher of the ethnic and cultural history of the Greeks of the Azov region, as well as other ethnic groups of the region

I am a specialist in the history of Mariupol and the gastronomic culture of the Mariupol Greeks. My doctoral thesis was titled “Ethnic Specificity of the Greeks of the Ukrainian Azov Region,” and my habilitation work focused on “The Greeks of the Azov Region: Ethnonational Processes and the Transformation of Traditional Culture.” From 1996 to 2001 and again from 2006 to 2012, I served as the Dean of the Faculty of History at Mariupol State University. I have also been a Visiting Professor at the International Hellenic University (Greece, Thessaloniki) and the Ionian University (Greece, Corfu).

Since 2017, I have been a professor at Donetsk National Medical University. Starting in 2022, I became a Visiting Researcher at the Institute for Mediterranean Studies at the Foundation for Research and Technology (Greece, Crete, Rethymno), and since 2023, I have also been a part-time professor at the National Aviation University in Kyiv. I have participated in numerous research, cultural, and educational projects and am the author of 138 publications.
