Biography
I am based in the School of Social Sciences and a member of the Doctoral Centre team. My primary teaching role at Heriot-Watt is designing and delivering Qualitative Social Research Methods training at postgraduate and doctoral level. I co-supervise PhD students, and welcome PhD projects that align with my qualitative approach to research, as detailed below.
Prior to Heriot-Watt, I was a Teaching Fellow at Keele University, where I taught several core BPS subjects at undergraduate level, and MSc Research Methods modules. Before Keele, I was a Research Fellow at Loughborough University on a Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by the Economic and Social Research Council. My higher education was also at Loughborough, where I hold a PhD in Discursive Psychology/Conversation Analysis, a Discursive Psychology MSc (Distinction), and Social Psychology BSc (First Class Honours).
