Work with me
I welcome opportunities to develop research with colleagues and share insights from evolutionary psychology with organisations and wider audiences. You can contact me about research collaborations, postgraduate supervision, research briefings, academic and public talks, research consultancy, and research-based professional training.
Each section below says what to include in an enquiry.
Research collaborations
I’m interested in collaborative research on mating and relationships, sex differences, psychological wellbeing, sexual conflict, and responses to scientific findings. I examine variation between people and cultures and how evolved psychology operates in modern environments.
I welcome ideas for collaborative studies, cross-cultural projects, analyses of existing datasets, and joint funding proposals that connect with these interests. See Research and Publications for more.
I run the Centre for Evolutionary Perspectives on Intersexual Conflict (the EPIC centre) at Swansea University. Visit the EPIC website to meet the team and explore our current projects.
To discuss a collaboration, please outline the research question, the population or dataset involved, and how you would like us to work together.
Postgraduate supervision
I welcome enquiries from prospective postgraduate researchers who have funding in place or have identified a funding route. Projects should connect with my research interests, including mating and relationships, sex differences, singlehood and wellbeing, sexual conflict, or responses to scientific findings.
Please send a brief outline of your research idea, relevant academic background, intended degree and start date, and the funding source or route you have identified. This will help us discuss whether the project is a good fit.
Research briefings for government and policy audiences
I offer briefings for government and policy audiences, explaining research findings and their relevance to the questions an organisation is considering. Topics can include mating and relationships, sex differences, sexual harassment, unwanted singlehood, and wellbeing.
When you get in touch, please describe your organisation, the audience, the question you would like to explore, the format and your preferred timing.
Academic and public talks
I welcome invitations to speak to academic and public audiences about evolutionary psychology and my research. Topics can range from attraction and relationships to singlehood and wellbeing, cross-cultural findings, and how people respond to scientific research.
When you get in touch, please describe the event and audience, the topic, the format and your preferred date.
Research consultancy
I welcome enquiries from organisations seeking research input on questions connected with my expertise. This might involve developing research questions, reviewing evidence, or interpreting findings.
When you get in touch, please outline the project, the research input you are looking for and your timing.
Research-based professional training
I provide research-based training for healthcare and mental health professionals. Previous sessions for government and mental health professionals, including NHS staff, have covered unwanted singlehood, incel communities, and sexual harassment.
For example, I have introduced mental health professionals to research on incel communities, covering misconceptions, risks of harm to themselves and others, and considerations for engagement with services.
When you get in touch, please describe your organisation, the audience, the topic, the format and your preferred timing.
For clinical case consultation, psychotherapy supervision and training focused on therapeutic practice, please visit my therapy practice. For therapy enquiries, visit my private practice website.
