Dr Hilary Norman
Staff details
I joined Goldsmiths as a lecturer in October 2022. My research is concerned with self-harm, and its relationship with how we experience and deal with emotions. Recently I have been researching suicide in public places, with a view to informing preventative measures. I use quantitative and qualitative techniques to explore these research areas.
Academic qualifications
- PhD 2021
Teaching and Supervision
I supervise third year undergraduate projects and MSC dissertations. I am particularly interested in supervising qualitative MSC projects.
I also organise the Psychology Department Seminar Series https://www.gold.ac.uk/psychology/dept-seminar-series/. If you would be interested in giving a seminar on your research, please get in touch.
