Background

Teaching

I primarily teach legal psychology and am a course leader for the courses Legal Psychology (30 credits), Legal Psychology in Practice (15 credits) and Interviewing and Interrogating Children and Adolescents (15 credits). I also teach qualitative research methods and supervise students at undergraduate, advanced and postgraduate levels.

Research interests

I am interested in legal psychology with a particular focus on factors influencing memory, children's memory and testimony, child interviews and investigative child interviews, legal decision-making, evidence evaluation and reliability and credibility assessments, and the effect of interpreters and culture on interrogations.

I am a member of the research group Criminal, Legal and Investigative Psychology (CLIP).
