Dr. Emma Nicholson

Dr Emma Nicholson is an Assistant Professor in Developmental Psychology and the Programme Chair for the BSc in Psychology.

Her research examines lifelong health inequalities faced by people with disabilities, with a particular focus on their experiences accessing and navigating healthcare systems. She is interested in how health status and disability shape developmental trajectories across the life course. She employs inclusive research and participatory approaches involving children and young people, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

I currently teach modules on developmental psychology on the BSc in Psychology, BSc in Psychology and Mathematics and the BSc in Psychology and Disruptive Technologies. I also teach on the MSc in Psychology (Conversion) and the Masters in Psychology and Wellbeing.
