He's incapable of getting the smallest thing right. There are three errors in that one little subordinate clause. You have to admit that is an achievement. "Now." "Teaching in . . . Ukraine. "The Ukraine." Duke sometimes lectures in Ukraine. He's apparently not doing so "now," which implies that he's either there at present or has taken a position there. He's not "teaching," which implies that he has a regular academic job of some sort. (See his website, linked in my previous post.) No one literate in English says that "giving a lecture" or a few lectures at X or in X is "teaching" there unless it part of a regular gig at/in X, at least a visiting or an adjunct job. If Dershowitz were (heaven forbid) to give a lecture, or several, at my lowly fourth tier law school; he would sue for libel if someone were to write, "Alan Dershowitz is (now) teaching at a fourth tier law school in Chicago." (It's not clear whether he'd feel more defamed by the implied association with a fourth tier law school or with a Midwestern city.) And, as you say, it's not "the" Ukraine.
If Dershowitz told me that he taught at Harvard, I'd have to look it up in the course catalog, cross check the faculty list, and ask the Dean to make sure. I pity his students.
