Senior Lecturer
Currently I contribute to the delivery of Social Psychology at levels 4 and 5 and supervise level 6 Psychology undergraduates.
I have worked at Sheffield Hallam University since 1995, changing to a part time contract in 2002 following the birth of my children. During this time I have undertaken a variety of academic and administrative roles including teaching delivery at undergraduate and postgraduate level, postgraduate research supervision, consultancy and Admissions Tutor.
I have an interest in Clinical and Social Psychology and have completed a second edition of the popular undergraduate text Critical Social Psychology: An Introduction (with Professor Brendan Gough, published in 2013). I continue to review for several journals including Feminism & Psychology and Qualitative Research in Psychology.
My research interests broadly span Clinical and Social Psychology, in particular exploring psychosocial dimensions of health and well being. I have successfully bid for research funding from bodies such as the National Lottery and NSPCC, and worked with both voluntary and statutory agencies such as Barnardos and SOVA. These projects have resulted in various publications. More recently I have developed research projects exploring experiences of patients with illnesses such as MS and End Stage Renal Disease with colleagues based at St. James Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary. This latter project resulted in a successful bid for funding from the National Kidney Foundation to a key worker for young people with End Stage Renal disease at St James Hospital, Leeds.
