| Short summary of activities and expertise | I am a psychologist specialized in war trauma, displacement, and refugees. My formal education is Psychological Counseling (Bachelor’s and Master’s) followed by PhD in Personality and Clinical Psychology in 2016. My PhD research was about internally displaced people after the Russian armed conflict in 2008. I am interested how meaning making (finding a new meaning, redefining priorities etc.) and religion/spiritual beliefs help to cope people in stressful situations, especially with the war trauma; how displacement affects their well-being and what are the factors contributing to post traumatic growth. In addition, I am also interested how values and religious/spiritual development are contributing to both prejudice or tolerance. With the research collaborations across Europe and US, I gained extensive knowledge in the field of psychology and sociology of religion and positive psychology. My anticipated project will be about studying how Ukrainian refugees cope with the war trauma and forced displacement. What are the factors contributing to their adaptation? What are their stories? I am intending to conduct both quantitative (cross-sectional) and qualitative studies (interviews). Depending on developed collaborations, I anticipate to continue the research within the framework of another project to do longitudinal study. |
