I am a social and psychological researcher, who is interested in social science research, public health, and climate change. My preferred method is qualitative research methodology. For my Honours research at the University of Johannesburg, I used autoethnography to study Child Sexual Abuse. Completed my Masters in Social and Psychological Research at the University of the Witwatersrand, exploring the experiences of black women leaders in corporate South Africa, using Foucauldian discourse analysis. I am a writing consultant by profession, and have a book review publication on Anarchism and Climate Change Activism, published in 2022. Co-authored a journal article on Feasibility Testing of a Health Literacy Intervention With Adolescents and Young Adults in South Africa, published in 2024. This feasibility study introduced me to public health psychology, and made me passionate about finding the links between individuals’ health and how their behaviour impacts their relationship with their direct environment, through a psychological lens. I am specifically interested in how psychological theories such as the socio-ecological system can help social science researchers understand why people care (or not) about their health, environment and thus, the climate. I am excited to serve on the CEPD as a divisional member and join the Psyssa community.
