Most of Tsymbalyuk\u2019s work lies at the intersection of environmental humanities and artistic research, but she has also written on embodied knowledge, coloniality of knowledge and colonial legacies, whiteness, (post)industrial heritage and visual arts. While rooted in Ukraine, Tsymbalyuk\u2019s work stretches beyond national borders with an interest in the broader region of Eastern Europe and in different places and spaces that have shared experiences of Russian imperial subjugation, from Central Asia to the Baltic states.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/melikian.asu.edu\/\u0022\u003EThe Melikian Center\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a co-sponsor of this event.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor a full listing of all the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu\/\u0022\u003EHumanities Institute\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E events visit \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu\/events\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003Eour events page\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","phone":"","contactname":"Victoria Day","email":"VictoriaDay@asu.edu","delta":"0","alias":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/2025-26-humanities-institute-book-award-ceremony?id=0","ticketing_rsvp_txt":"RSVP","ticketing_rsvp_txt2":"","ticketing_rsvp_url":"https:\/\/specialevents.asu.edu\/ereg\/newreg.php?eventid=887693\u0026amp;","ticketing_rsvp_url2":"","website":"","image_url":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-07\/Event%20Image%2020261105.jpg","image_alt":"","image_title":"","start_date":"Nov 5 2026 - 4:00pm","end_date":"Nov 5 2026 - 6:00pm","time_description":"","very_start_date":"2026-11-05T16:00:00Z","very_end_date":"2026-11-05T18:00:00Z","event_types":"Awards ceremony, Lecture, Reception","interests":"Academic and Professional Enhancement|Arts and Creative Expression|Awards|Literature|Humanities|Inclusion","audiences":"For alumni|For current ASU students|For staff|For faculty","event_units":"Department of English|Humanities|Humanities at ASU|Humanities Institute|School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies|School of International Letters and Cultures|School of Social Transformation|Melikian Center","event_topics":"Academic events|Inclusion|Free|Open to the public|Professional and career development","download":"","event_map_url":"","event_map_title":"","event_video":"","location_term":"Tempe campus","venue_address":"1102 S McAllister Ave","venue_city":"Tempe","venue_state":"Arizona","venue_zip":"85287","alias-indexed":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/2025-26-humanities-institute-book-award-ceremony?id=0","sport_tag":"","game_type":"","subtitle":"","season":"","athletic_conference":"","tv_network":"","radio_station":"","wear_color":"","game_theme":"","history":"","history_text":"","related_stories":"","related_stories_text":"","game_notes":"","game_notes_text":"","recap_link":"","recap_link_text":"","live_stats":"","live_stats_text":"","game_time_tba":"No","sda_all_day":"No","opponent_logo":"","related_videos":"","related_videos_text":"","recurring":"no"}}]}
