About me

I am a social psychologist with many years of experience as a teacher, researcher, and research supervisor. Much of my teaching has focused on research design, methods and data analysis, and I'm experienced in a wide range of methodologies, methods and data analysis techniques, both quantitative and qualitative.


My research practice has been diverse, but linked by a common interest in social justice. My research interests centre on prejudice and discrimination, particularly with regard to race and gender, and social justice issues more broadly. I am most know for my work in discursive psychology, and have mainly published in areas of race and gender. Most recently, my focus has been on how we can build anti-inequality rhetoric, through analysis of political, general public, and mainstream and social media discourses. I am especially concerned with the use of discourses and ways of talking that reproduce, and resist, social inequality.
