Grace Horwood
School of Psychology
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
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 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.
