Title: Dr
Position: Senior Research Officer


Professional Affiliations:
Member of the International Society of Critical Health Psychology

Teaching:
My teaching is currently focussed on the supervision of research students at Honours and PhD level. I am a previous recipient of the Stephen Cole the Elder Award for Excellence in Teaching for undergraduate teaching in psychology.

Research Interests:
My research interests are primarily in the area of qualitative and critical health psychology.  In particular, I have a strong interest in public health and health psychology, with a focus on issues related to risk and prevention.  I am also particularly interested in gendered health issues.  My research typically draws on qualitative methodologies. I have an additional interest in research concerned with learning and teaching at tertiary levels.
