Chris Humphrey, PhD is a former humanities postdoctoral fellow at the University of York, UK (1997), and a graduate of University of Southampton, UK (BA English Studies 1992; MA Culture and Social Change 1993). Chris has spent the last thirteen years working as a project and programme manager in the private sector, specialising in technology, transport and sustainability.
