I graduated with a PhD in psychology - only took until I was 30, but I'm no longer a student! Will miss working at Heriot-Watt and living in Edinburgh, but here's to returning one day...

My review copy of Michael Billig and Cristina Marinho's new book just arrived today!

Excited to read about a rhetorical psychological perspective on recent political scandals and controversies 😎

Its with great pleasure to announce that I just passed my PhD viva with minor corrections yesterday! Big thanks to my supervisors Stephen Gibson & Marc Alexander for their support these last years - and to my examiners Mhairi Bowe and Simon Goodman for their constructive and challenging questions 😁
