- Profile
-
I am a a Postdoctoral Research Associate exploring the impact of the digitalisation of social care on older informal carers.
I specialise in combining qualitative research methods with political theory. My published work explores areas of social psychology and cyberpsychology. I mainly specialis in critical discursive psychology, while I also employ thematic analysis and interpretative phenomenological analysis. My doctoral research explores adolescent sexting, consent and coercion through a focus on discourse, gender, ideology, power and hegemony.
Previously, I worked as a Lecturer in Psychology at Nottingham Trent University while serving as one of the main investigators of the STEP-IN Erasmus+ grant. Through this role, I contributed to the creation and dissemination of research-based resources concerning online safety for young people.
