I am an Assistant Professor in Applied Psychology at the University of Nottingham, where I lead internationally recognised research on the psychological dimensions of climate change.

My research investigates how people in diverse social and cultural contexts experience and respond to environmental change. I am particularly interested in communities whose perspectives are under-represented in psychological research, including racially marginalised groups and those in the Global South. 

​

I use cross-national, mixed methods approaches to address questions like:

​​

• What drives climate action and policy support across different cultural and national contexts?

• How do experiences of environmental risk shape emotions, behaviour, mental health, and wellbeing?

• How does migrant, racial, and diasporic cultural heritage shape  engagement with nature and climate change among minoritised communities in the Global North?

​

My work is distinctive in centring equity and justice perspectives in environmental psychology. This commitment informs both what I study and how I study it - from large scale cross-national surveys to community-engaged qualitative work with equity-deserving groups and frontline communities. 

Before joining Nottingham, I completed my PhD at the University of St Andrews and held academic positions at the University of Bergen (Norway) and De Montfort University (UK). I also serve as an Associate Editor for Global Environmental Psychology and a Section Editor for Plos Mental Health.
