Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology


Summary

I am a Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology, teaching on modules across undergraduate and postgraduate courses. My research interests  include gender, social inequalities, consumption and identity within a critical social psychological approach.

About

I joined the Psychology Team at Sheffield Hallam University early in 2018. My areas of teaching are social psychology and qualitative research. The Psychology team at Sheffield Hallam cover a comprehensive and diverse range of psychological approaches and I am very excited to have the opportunities to work with specialists in qualitative research and with principal critical social psychologists. 

I completed my PhD at the University of Bath in 2012. The thesis explored contemporary classed femininities within young people's drinking cultures. My previous post was as a Senior Lecturer at Southampton Solent University, 2011 - 2018. I have presented at national and international conferences and I peer review journal articles and book editions.

I am a member of the British Psychological Society, and a member of the Applied Health Research Group.
