I am currently undertaking a PhD under the supervision of Professor Martha Augoustinos and Dr Clemence Due.

My research interests are in the area of social psychology and sociology broadly, and more specifically in the field of mental health promotion and communication. In my PhD I aim to use the methodology of critical discursive psychology to explore how the concept of "mental health" was constructed during the COVID-19 pandemic in various contexts including newspapers, online discussion forums, mental health websites and government publications.
