Dr Tony Williams
Academic Director of the Doctor of Educational and Child Psychology and Welfare Advisor (student and staff) in the BAME Staff Network.
I completed a professional doctorate in Educational Psychology at the University of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ and joined the School of Education in 2010 as a Professional Tutor in Educational Psychology. I am now the Programme Director for the Doctorate in Education and Child Psychology.
In 2017 working with colleagues I completed a report for the Faculty of Social Sciences which examined the differential attainment of UK educated BME students compared to their white peers.
This report highlighted the views of University of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ BME students and led to further work including setting up the BAME staff network which I worked on with Nishat Awan and Betty Anyika.
The University is a busy place with lots of opportunities to follow and develop your interests. It's a great place to come to challenge yourself and others, to develop your thinking and work out how you can make a difference.
Whether through teaching, developing university systems or in my practice as a psychologist and psychoanalyst in training, I remain committed to working alongside others to support progressive change.
