Oksana Ovsiiuk is a sociocultural anthropologist and historian from Kyiv, Ukraine. Since June 2022, she is a visiting scholar at the Social Anthropology Unit of the University of Fribourg (postdoc).
She is interested in the research of forced migrants. In 2021 she was part of a team of the international project The Horizon 2020 “Future migration scenarios for Europe”, which focuses on understanding the patterns, motivations, and modalities of migration at multiple geographical scales, from international through regional to local levels, and on imagining possible future scenarios of migration to Europe.

In 2022 she was involved in the preparation of the research on sociodemographic characteristics, needs, and resources of Ukrainian arrivals in Poland. In Switzerland, she has started researching the mechanisms of integration of Ukrainian immigrants into local communities.
Her research interests include historical anthropology and anthropology of modernity, migration studies, urban anthropology, urban history, and the history of everyday life.
