Strengthening multicultural cooperation through research

As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many scholars and scientists have left the country. More than 30 Ukrainian researchers displaced by the war have temporarily joined the University of Luxembourg mainly as research fellows and in some cases under temporary contracts funded by the FNR. In this series of interviews, we briefly present the researchers and their work. Oksana Karbashevska is an Associate Professor at Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. She is now a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Humanities of the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences at the University of Luxembourg. What is your research field and which specific topic are you working on? My research fields are Folkloristics, Literary Studies, and Translation Studies. The specific topics I work on are the folk ballad in the UK, USA, and Ukraine as well as folk-literate relations, text interpretation, and image rendition.
