Biography
Freyja Quick is a final year PhD candidate supervised by Peter Hegarty in the School of Psychology at the University of Surrey. Freyja’s research views the practice of Psychology through an ‘occupational lens’, presenting a ‘Psychology of Psychology’ that explores how the presumed gender and ethnicity of psychologists leads to unfair evaluations of their research. Another of Freyja’s main research interests concerns the intersection of theories of workplace inequality and theories of social cognition. Freyja has presented her research at the British Psychological Society Social Psychology Section Annual Conference 2011: “Men who conduct scientific research on women: The hidden advantage of atypicality”. Freyja also appears as co-author to the chapter ‘Androcentrism’, to appear in M.K. Ryan, & N.R. Branscombe (Eds.) The Sage Handbook of Gender and Psychology.
