I'm going to The University of Sydney!

Hi Everyone,

It's been a busy last few weeks for me as I have recently received a Worldwide Universities Network Researcher Mobility Programme Award to visit The University of Sydney in 2014 (http://www.shef.ac.uk/music/newsevents/rt191113-1.328785).  

This is really exciting news and I cannot wait to begin collaborating with Prof. Alexander Blaszczynski (http://sydney.edu.au/science/people/alex.blaszczynski.php) who conducts pioneering research in the field of gambling studies.  We will work together on two projects investigating the influence of music on gambling behaviour.  

We will also collaborate with two other academics - Prof. Dianna Kenny (http://fdp.edsw.usyd.edu.au/users/dkenny) and Dr. Daniel King (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/directory/daniel.king).  Together we will further the understanding of music's roles within gambling and gaming.

I am writing-up my thesis at the moment, almost ready to submit my first draft to my supervisors.  After this, I will begin drafting a Research Plan for implementation in Sydney.

Looking forward to 2014 already!

Best wishes,

Steph

I have recently completed my PhD titled 'Exploring the presence, experience and influence of background music in gambling situations' at The University of Sheffield. My PhD research was supervised by Prof. Nicola Dibben and Dr. Richard Rowe. Prior to that I gained an MA in Psychology of Music at The University of Sheffield (2009) and completed my first degree in Music at the University of Leeds (2005). I conduct research within the fields of psychology of music and gambling studies.
