Meet our scholars

I am a media sociologist focusing on the role of digital technologies in shaping public perception and outcomes of wars. My research lays the groundwork for new directions in the study of information warfare, particularly in the areas of civilian resilience, influence operations, digital sovereignty, and humanitarianism. I was born and raised in Ukraine, where I managed political campaigns and led nonprofit initiatives. My research fellowships have taken me to Warsaw, Stockholm, New York, Washington, DC, and Toronto. I am an avid collaborator and advocate for marginalised voices and identities within academia. When not in research mode, I can be found outdoors—often in the company of my miniature dachshunds, Penny and Lenny.
