On Saturday 1 November, Psychology students and recent graduates presented their research at the first South East Branch Psychology Festival in Brighton, organised by Brighton alum Dr Bruno De Oliveira.
Supported by Belong at Brighton funding secured by Dr Abby Barras, Course Leader for our Community Psychology MA, six students showcased research on topics including the role of community in neurological rehabilitation and the effects of shame and institutional barriers on LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic abuse.
Recent graduate and author Carenza Greed said: “On the day it was so inspiring to see all the presentations, I feel I came away feeling thoughtful and ambitious to carve my own path in the field of psychology.
“As someone with a colourful background, I had had to find my way back to education after my estrangement from it – culminating in receiving my degree in August. This talk was the first time I really felt like I had a voice, and I could be of use in this field.”
Congratulations to everyone who took part!
