Biography

Dr Flannery conducts research in the area of social psychology with a focus on social harmony and examining those factors that act to undermine it. She is interested in constructs related to the psychology of group perception, for example, group membership, prejudice and discrimination along with political phenomena such as nationalism, populism and political conservatism. Specifically, Dr Flannery is interested in investigating the desire to protect one’s own social group and its relationship with individual behaviour, attitudes and intergroup dynamics.

In addition, Dr Flannery is a registered psychologist with extensive experience in providing psychological intervention and counselling support in the tertiary setting. Therefore, she is interested in understanding contributing factors to student wellbeing and exploring the components that enhance and/or impede the tertiary student experience.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
