- Lecturer in Education, Manchester Institute of Education, University of Manchester
Working as a cross-cultural psychologist at Manchester Institute of Education (University of Manchester), my research interests focus broadly on international and intercultural education and cross-cultural and developmental psychology, particularly on international students’ acculturation experiences, bio-ecological development, and (im)mobility; mental health and psychological wellbeing; mundane studies; social connections and interactions; Study Abroad (Exchange) Programmes (Residence/Year Abroad Programme); language, culture, and identity; and creative research methods.
