Institution: Division of Psychology and Mental Health, University of Manchester, England.
Supervisory team: Professor Catherine Robinson, Dr Rebecca McPhillips, Dr Kirsten Windfuhr.
Position: PhD Student.
Current research: I am researching suicide and self-harm among Indian women. My PhD project will focus on gender-specific risk and protective factors in India and will examine how the sociocultural and religious context in India shapes suicidal behaviour and help-seeking among Indian women.
Research interests:
- Cultural differences in suicide risk
- Gender and suicide
- Cultural and religious aspects of self-harm and suicide
Can help with: I’m familiar with systematic and scoping reviews and am happy to help with the steps involved and literature recommendations. I’m also comfortable providing advice on applying for development-related grants and funding applications for researchers and students from low- and middle-income countries. I’m currently learning how to use NVivo.
What’s essential to your well-being? When I’m not writing (awful) fantasy fiction, I volunteer with Student Minds and the UK Council for International Student Affairs.
