Biography
Dr Kate Reid
Senior Lecturer and Chartered Health Psychologist
I am appointed the School of Education (People, Place and Social Change Research Group) and offer specialist teaching and PGT dissertation coordination in the School of Psychology. I am also the School of Education regional champion for South East Asia and Australasia.
I teach qualitative methods, and clinical health psychology across undergraduate and PGT programmes in Psychology and Education. I also offer staff training to support the academic supervision of qualitative research dissertations. I am programme leader and dissertation coordinator for the successful ODL (online) Psychological Studies programme (PGT Conversion) which is managed across both the School of Education and School of Psychology. This programme attracts students globally and our programme of online courses and research methods training are professionally accredited by The British Psychological Society.
My teaching is informed by my research interests in the areas of health psychology, social justice and tackling inequalities. At present I am leading the qualitative arm of a multi-site, complex intervention feasibility trial funded by the MRC/NIHR. This feasibility trial aims to assess whether ASSIST (A Stop Smoking In Schools Trial) that uses educational, peer-led interventions to encourage adolescents to not smoke is acceptable in countries where smoking rates for younger people are persistently high (Indonesia and Phillipinnes).
I am also experienced in working within my community and reinforcing the civic partnerships that the University of Glasgow values. I have co-researched with social enterprises such as Food Train, Meal makers leading to publication and raising the profile of their valuable work to tackle older adult food insecurity.

Supervision
I am interested in supervising on themes that combine perspectives on psychology as it relates to issues of learning, health, behaviour change, qualitative methods. I am also keen to work with students who are interested in applying qualitative or mixed methodology in their studies.
I am happy to receive enquiries from prospective students who feel my research interests are a good match for their planned topic and methodological alignment.
I recognise that students benefit from feeling part of a vibrant community of learners and have organised community events for our PGR students - such as 'walkabout' tours (see poster below!)
