Ashley Humphrey works as a lecturer in the Social Sciences at Monash University, Australia, where he earlier completed his PhD in Psychology. His work over the past few years has focused extensively on the impacts the war in Ukraine has had on people’s lives, and in particular the toll it has taken on the mental health and wellbeing of young Ukrainians. He has also completed research looking at the significant challenges young people living in other states affected by the threat of Russian aggression face, including those living in the separatist region of Transnistria, located in eastern Moldova, as well as in Georgia. This is work that he is compiling into a book manuscript.
