My research is focused on bystander intervention in the presence of sexual assault. In particular, I am exploring how we can encourage bystanders to intervene in such assaults and how a belief in a just world affects their likelihood of intervening.
A key aspect of my research is investigating bystander intervention within a virtual reality environment, using 360-degree cameras to capture staged footage of an assault.
My PhD is funded by the University Research Studentship Allowance (URSA) at the University of Bath, and is supervised by Professor Danae Stanton Fraser (University of Bath), Professor Mitchell Callan (University of Bath), and Professor Mark Levine (Lancaster University).
In 2023, I won the University of Bath's Three Minute Thesis competition, winning both the judges' choice and public vote awards. I then went on to the national quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finally, to the finals where won the judges' choice award at the national Vitae Three Minute Thesis competition.
In 2022, Sam Hooker and I founded the Researcher Wellbeing Group, an inter-disciplinary, inter-university support group aimed at early career researchers (from Master's through to Post-Docs) investigating traumatic subjects. This peer-support group, now in its second year, offers a safe place to discuss the toll researching such topics has on us, share experiences, and brainstorm coping mechanisms and solutions, as well as having sessions led by guest speakers. ECRs can sign up to join the Researcher Wellbeing group here.
