About

Dr Liadh Timmins is a psychologist and epidemiologist whose research is broadly concerned with sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes the impacts of stigma and discrimination on sexual and gender minorities; the psychology of prejudice; and social and cognitive components of sexual orientation and gender identity. In terms of methods, they use large-scale surveys, experiments, novel measures, and rigorous statistics. Their work uses an intersectional and feminist lens.

Dr Timmins received their BA in Psychology from Maynooth University, their MSc in Applied Psychology from Trinity College Dublin, and their PhD in Psychology from King’s College London. They completed postdoctoral training in Epidemiology with a focus on Social Epidemiology at Columbia University.

Dr Timmins is available as a potential supervisor for postgraduate research, particularly through our Psychology Research Degrees.

Taught Modules

PS-M010 The Process of Psychology

In conjunction with PS-M011 (The Practice of Psychology), this module provides students with the opportunity to engage with experts in various fields of psychology, to explore the discipline from different perspectives and contexts, and understand how psychologists approach real-world problems. Specifically, this module focuses on the application of psychology, turning psychological theory into practice. The module will involve student-led activities such as seminars, workshops, debates, and case studies, where students will apply their knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems and to critically examine relevant policy and methodology in key areas where application of psychology occurs in practice. The module will foster the development of transferable and employability skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, and ethical awareness. In the first week of the module, students will be orientated in academic reflective practice, allowing them to reflect critically on the development of their knowledge and critical thinking skills on the module. In Weeks 2-9, students will attend a weekly ¿masterclass¿ from an expert speaker who will provide an overview of a contemporary research topic in psychology. The eight sessions will be divided equally among the four BPS core areas of social, biological,cognitive, and developmental psychology (i.e., 2 sessions each). Speakers each week will particularly focus on (a) the historical context of their topic, (b) real-world applications of this work, (c) controversies within the field and (d) the role of individual differences. During each masterclass, students will develop their critical thinking skills through scaffolded note taking and discussion with the speaker. In the final two weeks of the module, sessions focus on reflection and synthesis as students prepare for their two assessments. The first is a reflective account of the development of knowledge and critical thinking skills during the module. The second is a ¿State of Psychology¿ synthesis ¿ a coursework assignment that critically discusses the masterclasses and highlights common themes across the module in relation to the applicability and generalisability of contemporary psychological understanding. By the end of the module, students will have gained a deeper and broader understanding of psychology as a contemporary science and profession. They will have enhanced their confidence and competence in applying psychological principles and methods to diverse settings and situations.
PSY237 Research and Experimental Methods I

This module is designed to further develop quantitative and qualitative methods and statistics for psychologists to prepare students for their final year independent research project. Students will be introduced to using the statistical software package JASP for quantitative analysis and students will learn how to design mini-projects, apply appropriate statistical tests, and interpret and present data. Students will also be introduced to qualitative research methods. The module also covers research ethics, the nature of good experimental design, how to control for confounding factors and the need for replicability and reliability in scientific research.
