BIOGRAPHY


I completed both my BSc in Psychology and MSc in Research Methods at the University of Essex. I began my PhD at the University of Essex in October 2011, which has been funded by the ESRC.


RESEARCH OVERVIEW


My research interests are predominantly in cultural and emotion psychology. More specifically, I am interested in the extent to which culture shapes empathy. I plan to use a wide array of methodologies to investigate this area during my PhD including surveys, physiological and neuroscience methodologies.
