Overview
Background
I am an environmental psychologist interested in the intersection of psychology and environmental behaviour. As such, I have researched the psychological mechanisms underpinning individual support for climate policies, sustainable transport and food waste behaviour. More recently, I have become interested in how misinformation shapes (or impedes) environmental behaviour, the sources and consequences of misinformation beliefs, and in examining possible avenues to reduce beliefs in misinformation.
