I am an Associate Professor of Psychology of Religion at the University of Birmingham. I have a background in both Psychology (BA, PhD) and Theology/Religious Studies (BA, MTS). Within the psychology of religion, my research tends to focus on two broad areas. The first is investigating perceptions of the relationship between science and religion from a social and experimental psychology perspective. This has involved examining the roles of belief systems and social identities relating to religion, nonreligion, and science. Additionally, my research investigates social cognition (how we think about the self and others), particularly focusing on how people think about God. This research has implications for outcomes such as intergroup relations, stereotyping, prejudice, and mental health.
