Overview

Research

My latest work concerns social robotics in the context of social psychology as well as science and technology studies. Earlier and ongoing theoretical work involves comparisons of Jungian, dialogical, narrative and social constructionist perspectives on the self. Previous research investigated children's perceptions of school and mental health issues, and the social construction of the 'pupil with problems' on British education.

Supervision

I welcome PhD applicants interested in qualitative research concerning self and identity in a variety of settings.
