I am a Lecturer in Psychology at Lancaster University with expertise in social and moral psychology, as well as computational methods and natural language processing. I received my BSc in Psychology from the University of York, and MSc and PhD in Psychology from the University of Kent.

You can contact me at s.leach1@lancaster.ac.uk.

I take a broad and interdisciplinary approach to my work, using experiments and large-scale computational methods to understand a range of pressing societal issues, recently:

• The limits of online moral outrage for collective action ➚

• How politicians use social media to rally support ➚

• Whether beliefs about animal sentience are accurate ➚

My work can be found in peer-reviewed journals such as: Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Cognition, British Journal of Psychology, and Social Personality and Psychological Science.
