Degrees Held

Research Interests

  • My broad research interests are in social psychology. In particular, I have been working under the stewardship of Professor Kevin Durrheim to study intergroup phenomena in evolutionary and interactive contexts using data collected using The Virtual Interaction APPLication (see viappl.org).
  • Due to my time spent at The HIV, AIDS, STIs, and TB (HAST) research program of the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) as a researcher, I have also developed an interest in public health and epidemiology as well as the related research methodology.
