University of the West of England
Faculty Member, Psychology
Lecturer in Individual Differences
About
Broadly speaking, I am interested in individual differences in conscious experience.
My doctoral research explored the relationship between creativity and anomalous experiences. Subsequent post-doctoral work was varied, and included experimental work on schizotypy, paranormal belief, creativity and attentional disinhibition, as well as research using conversation analysis to assess the dynamics of the stream of consciousness.
I have research interests in creativity, personality, anomalous experiences, altered states of consciousness, well-being and parapsychology. My current research projects are exploring: 1) anomalous experiences and mental health; and 2) artistic involvement and well-being.
I teach on a variety of modules, focusing on individual differences, research methods, consciousness, the psychology of religion and psychology and the arts. I am module leader for Individual Differences, level one; Psychology and the Arts, level three, and I am the Programme leader for Drama and Psychology.
