Senior Lecturer in Psychology


Summary

I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology in the Institute of Social Sciences. My research largely focuses on identity, and in particular on how marginalised identities are constructed and/or experienced.

About

I have taught at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ in a range of roles since 2010. My main interests are grounded within critical social psychology and qualitative research methods. My primary research interests are centred around the relationship between discourse, Power, oppression, and resistance. I am particularly interested in media and political discourse.

My interests are broadly centred around the relationship between discourse(s), Power, oppression, and resistance. I am particularly interested in media and political discourse and representations of marginalised identities. My PhD research draws on various analytic approaches from within Discursive Psychology. Broadly, I use qualitative research methods to explore issues related to identity.
