About Amy Quayle
Amy is a lecturer in Psychology in the College of Sport, Health and Engineering, and a research fellow in the Institute for Health and Sport.
Informed by community, cultural and liberation psychologies, Amy’s research focuses on understanding different forms of oppression, particularly racialised and colonial oppression: how it is experienced, the psychosocial implications for identities, communities, and intergroup relations, as well as the resilient and resistant ways individuals and communities respond. A strong focus has also been on the potentially transformative role of community arts and cultural development, as public pedagogy, in identity and community making processes. Her research has predominantly involved qualitative methodologies including critical narrative inquiry and discourse analysis.
