About

I am a Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I studied a BSc in Psychology (Deusto University, Spain), before joining the Social Psychology Institute at the London School of Economics (UK), where I completed an MSc and PhD.

My research focuses on socio-psychological aspects of health, particularly of community participation in health and public involvement in healthcare research. In previous work I have focused on issues around homelessness: the health and social care of homeless people, and voluntary and community sector organizations.

At the theoretical level I am especially interested in social identity, (dialogical) Self and social interaction.
