Hey BlueSky! I thought I'd finally introduce myself 🧵

I'm Izzy, a PhD researcher in the @ucddublin.bsky.social School of Psychology, Ireland. ☘️

My background is in social, developmental & cultural psychology, and I’m interested in research that promotes social inclusion & social change.

I had SUCH an incredibly enriching and inspiring week at the 2025 Social Identity Summer School at KU Leuven.

In the #Politics stream, we took a deep dive into #SocialIdentityTheory, its premises and applications.

These conversations will doubtlessly be integral to my #PhD research.
