Research interests
My doctoral research focuses on decolonising the psychology curriculum, particularly examining how people perceive and value research from the Global South and its impact on global recognition and visibility within the curriculum. Additionally, I have a strong passion for positive psychology, including areas such as mental health, well-being, happiness, and the role of religion and spirituality. My goal is to contribute to a more diverse and inclusive field of psychology while gaining deeper insights into various facets of the human experience.
