BIOGRAPHY
I completed my BSc in Psychology in 2010 and my MSc in Research Methods in Psychology in 2011 at the University of Essex. I started my PhD in October of the same year.
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Broadly speaking, my main interests are based within social psychology. Specifically, I am concerned with the psychology of justice. My PhD is centred on the various cognitive tactics individuals employ to restore their sense of justice when it has been threatened. I am currently investigating how different strategies counteract and interact with one another to achieve the overall goal of restoring one’s belief in a just world.
