Profile: I joined ��«Ӱҵ in 2020 as the incoming Head of School of Education. I am a Professor of Community Psychology, a psychology that recognises inequality and takes context seriously. I am used to working with people, collaboratively and recognising that people have answers, skills and expertise. I have engaged in research which includes and collaborates with people who may often be considered as marginalised. Working with disabled people, migrants or those who are ageing, community psychology allows me to embrace creative approaches which position people as experts. I am currently working with colleagues in Brazil and India (ESRC), to explore how older adults age well in place in different city neighbourhoods. Before joining ��«Ӱҵ, I worked at Manchester Metropolitan University in a range of roles. Latterly, I was co-leading a research centre of interdisciplinarity around health, psychology and communities. I was also leading on International strategy across the faculty. In addition to funded research collaboration, I am committed to developing research capacity. I enjoy working with doctoral students and I have successfully worked with 35 students supervising them to doctoral completion.

Research interests: I am delighted to be joining the school and looking forward to learning and collaborating with others. I have extensive experiences of galvanising research across a range of education, health, social care and social science disciplines and combine this with my own interests in community-led approaches to co-production and participatory research. This research encompasses the contexts of community, education, health and social care; necessitating an interdisciplinary approach to research.
