My research interests are in the area of social psychology and critical psychology broadly, and social factors impacting on mental health.

In my Honours research I examined the different ways in which depression was discursively constructed on Australian depression websites. In my PhD research I applied the methodology of critical discursive psychology to explore how the concept of "mental health" was constructed and understood during the COVID-19 pandemic in two different contexts, the print and online news media, and an online mental health discussion forum.

My most recent research focuses on school-related stress and experiences of 'school can't' among children and young people.
