Biography

I joined the University of Bradford as Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology in 2017, and I am currently the Programme Leader for Psychology and Criminology BSc. My introduction to academia as an undergraduate was highly interdisciplinary, encompassing Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, and Literature. This provided the perfect intellectual training for successfully attaining an interdisciplinary doctorate, and motivation for continuing to create an interdisciplinary narrative for my research. For example, I have, and continue to, work on interdisciplinary research and collaboration(s) with academics from politics, philosophy, and psychology. I have a particular interest in qualitative dialogical epistemology and visual methods in psychology. My current areas of research include, but are not limited to, a critical approach to notions of self-identity, gender, public and private speech, digital societies, and enquires into lived cultural experiences. 

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a committee member of The History and Philosophy of Psychology section (THPP), The Psychology of Women and Equality Section (POWES). I am always interested in hearing from students wanting to pursue qualitative doctoral research in an interdisciplinary research area.
