I’m happy to share that last week I passed my viva with minor corrections. Thank you to my examiners, Marco & Orla, and specially to my supervisor @dennisnigbur.bsky.social for all the support and guidance. Thank you to everyone who’s been there for me over the years, too - I’m immensely grateful ✨

As always, very interesting discussions/catch ups and a great presentation by Rhea!

Excited to share my first paper, published in #JCASP🎉 (open access). With @profjohndrury.bsky.social, we engage with the rise of prefigurative politics - movements that embody desired societal change in their present practices (1/3)

My first methodological paper has just been published! If you are involved in IPA research and would like some ideas about creating effective theme names, this may help. It was great to work with Sheryl Chatfield. Thank you @ipanalysis.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

So *many* concerns here, but I don't understand why would a qualitative researcher even want this? Why not use a survey instead?The whole point of qualitative interviews is that we co-produce knowledge with our interlocutors through participation in the research process.

1- Social Psychologist Ignacio Martin-Baro thought psychologists must take into account the historical context and social conditions of the people they’re studying. He believed the problems of the oppressed and exploited reflected a normal reaction to abnormal circumstances.

Finally, something like this is out in PSPR! Identities, ideologies, status quos... Exactly where these variables and their antecedents operate in predicting individual responses to political realities hadn't been starkly addressed in mainstream psychology until now. See: doi.org/10.1177/1088...
