About

Hannah holds a PhD in Practical Theology from the University of Aberdeen. Her doctoral work examined the lived experience of stigma in the lives of Christians with bipolar disorder. Before gaining her PhD in Practical Theology Hannah received an undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of Aberdeen and holds qualifications in counselling skills and mental health first aid. Hannah is an honorary associate at the Centre for Spirituality, Health and Disability at the University of Aberdeen. On top of conducting this research, Hannah has been working as a visiting lecturer at London School of Theology where she has been leading a module on Empirical Research Methods. Prior to this, she worked as a postdoctoral research associate for Equipping Christian Leaders in an Age of Science and as a mixed methods researcher for Theos Think Tank where she examined the landscape of science and religion. Hannah has worked as a consultant researcher for charities examining mental health and church practice, and continues to contribute to the ongoing work of Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries. The cross section of psychology and theology has always been an area Hannah has been extremely passionate about, and is excited about the possibilities and connections this fellowship will bring. Together with Nick Spencer (Senior Fellow at Theos), Hannah has recently co-authored a book titled, Playing God: Science, Religion, and the Future of Humanity, which has been reviewed by the Church Times.
