My current primary interest is in gender as a social construct. In particular I am interested in the imbalances in the salience of gender for females and males: while more females than males report that their sex is an integral part of their identity, more males than females use gender as a dimension on which to base their decisions, judgements and actions. I am interested in this phenomenon across the lifespan. A secondary interest, but one I am happy to pursue in supervision of students, is social influence and in particular influence exerted by non-powerful and radical groups.
