Biography
I am a Social Psychologist and my research and publications have principally addressed psychological issues in identity, religion and society, loss and bereavement, and sexualities. Much of this work has been framed in terms of social psychological approaches, theories and concepts. The vast majority of my research is qualitative: I have contributed to the promotion of qualitative research in British psychology and remain a keen advocate of its value in developing insightful and useful answers to important contemporary questions. I was co-editor of the award-winning book, Lesbian & Gay Psychology: New Perspectives (with Celia Kitzinger: BPS Blackwell, 2002), and of Analysing Qualitative Data in Psychology (with Evanthia Lyons: SAGE, 2007, 2016).
