Khrystyna Petriv received her Ph.D. in Ukrainian from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in October 2019 with a dissertation on “The Conceptosphere of National Identity and its Language Objectivation in Oksana Pakhlovska’s Social and Political Essays.”. Her research focuses on the national identity of Ukrainians in the cognitive-linguistic, sociolinguistic, and psycholinguistic aspects. She is currently studying the issue of the national identity of Ukrainians during the ongoing war in Ukraine, as well as the renaming of cities, villages, and streets as a result of the decommunization process. In 2021-2022, she taught Ukrainian at the University of Kansas as a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant.
