Personal profile
Biography
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Psychology. I am an ambassador for Women in Games (WIGJ). In my doctoral programme of research I am exploring the digital gaming domain and gender in stigmatised settings, supervised by Professor Linda Kaye (Director of studies) and Dr Andy Levy.
Research interests
In my doctoral research I explore the construction of gamer identity and the intersection with gender identity, and how this varies across gaming contexts. Additionally, I am investigating the salience of gamer identity and the expression of this via gamers online language.
I am broadly interested in exploring gender identity, gender in stigmatised settings, digital/video games, barriers to STEM, imposter syndrome, qualitative research methods and open science.
