About

I am a political social psychologist and my interests lie in the role of perceived identity in political influence and decision making. My work explores the intersection of national, political, and ethnic identities and how these self-categorisations relate to political, health, and other social outcomes. In this work, I draw on perspectives from social psychology, political psychology, organizational behaviour, and health psychology.
