Profile

I began my career in Psychology at Macquarie University, graduating in 1991 with a BA (Hons) and then went on to complete a PhD in Psychology (1996) at the University of New South Wales. Following postdoctoral work at the University of California, Berkeley, I returned to Australia and UNSW as an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow and later as an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellow. In 2007 I moved to MACCS as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Australian Research Fellow.

My research involves investigations of autobiographical remembering and forgetting, drawing on concepts and approaches from hypnosis and posthypnotic amnesia and from experimental and clinical work on memory. My current work examines how and why people forget some, but not other, memories from their past. In new work, recently awarded a 5-year ARC DP, I will be collaborating with John Sutton (from Macquarie University's Department of Philosophy) in an interdisciplinary investigation of collective memory - how groups of people, not just individual group members, share and remember events from their collective past. I also maintain a strong interest and experimental research program in hypnosis: how it works and how it can be used to understand everyday and clinical distortions of perception, memory, action and belief.

I'm also very interested in science communication and frequently participate in outreach programs for primary and secondary school students, for guest lectures, for media commentary, and for radio and TV appearances.
