Callum has previously been a research assistant investigating the effects of post-encoding psychosocial stress on episodic memory and another investigating sexual evolution and how self-perceived dominance influences dominance-threat detection in others. He is currently working as a research assistant on two projects. One of which investigating qualitative experiences of student sex workers and the other analysing the influence of different variables in labour market discrimination for homosexual men.

His primary research interests focus on labour market discrimination for minority groups. Callum’s recent dissertation was titled: An investigation into religious fundamentalism and its influence on labour market access for homosexual applicants as a function of implicit attitudes towards minority sexual orientations.

His other research interests centre around implicit attitudes, personality and cognitive traits, especially in applied social psychology domains. He is also interested in LGBT-focused research, environmental psychology, languages, and pedagogy.

Beyond this, Callum is passionate about social responsibility and sustainability, as well as student experience in higher education. He is keen to promote student experiences in the teaching of psychology and how to better the discipline from a student perspective.
