I started my position as a Lecturer in Psychology at York St John University in 2023. I am a social and developmental psychologist with a particular interest in dehumanization and first impressions research. I completed my PhD at the University of York in 2022 with my thesis titled “The impact of social learning on first impressions across development.” Currently, my research has shifted focus to dehumanization where I evaluate previous theories in light of new empirical evidence.
I currently teach on the following modules:
- Exploring Social Psychology - PSY4001M (Module Lead)
- Social Psychology - PSY5001M
I am a social and developmental psychologist primarily interested in impression formation and intergroup processes. My research has mainly concentrated on both the development and social origins of first impressions. More recently I am interested in exploring different theories investigating dehumanization.
