My teaching focuses on specialist modules in Environmental Psychology (Level 6) and professional skills and advanced quantitative research methods on the MSc Psychological Research Methods programme. I also regularly supervise PhD students, as well as undergraduate and masters research projects. Previously, I contributed to undergraduate research methods and social psychology. I was also module leader for psychology in the media, focussing on the influence of the media on our behaviour and the professional responsibilities of psychologists to interact with the media.

My specific interests are in the role built and natural environments in our health, wellbeing, and development of our identity. Recent projects include the exploration of the potential of a range of “positive” places as health-promotion resources and the influence of place identity on the perception of natural or urban environments to improve our mood and cognition.
