Research Interests

My main research expertise is in the areas of social cognition and language processing. I am interested in automatic stereotyping and prejudice with a focus on identifying strategies to overcome the activation and application of such biases. Most of my past research has focused on occupational gender biases (e.g. spontaneous inference making that a builder is male and a nurse is female), though I have also examined biases in relation to race, disability, age and deafness. More recently, I am also interested in research with a pedagogical focus e.g. in relation to teaching, learning, assessment, academic outcomes and the student experience and am currently planning research projects in this area.

Dissertation Supervision:

I supervise up to ten students each year across UG and MSc level (both online students and on-campus students). Projects typically centre on stereotyping and prejudice, with students encouraged to identify specific areas they are interested in within these topics. As above, I am also interested in supervising research with a pedagogical focus in the future.
