About
I am an Honorary Professor in the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences at Kingston University. I have worked at Brunel University, the National Children's Bureau, St Mary's Hospital Medical School, the London School of Economics, the Thomas Coram Research Unit, and the Institute of Psychiatry. I am a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society.
Research has been a central feature of my career, and I have led large-scale projects in areas such as youth and religion, deliberate self-harm among young people, health in childhood, and social disadvantage. Recently, I have changed direction, and my latest published project examines the lives of women born during the post-war baby boom. This has been complemented by the publication of a book of poems on the everyday lives of older women in their prime. A further book, based on an analysis of the 'lockdown diaries' completed by 68 men and women over the age of 70 for six months from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, is currently in press. Further details on these latest publications are provided on my website, found at www.nicolamadge.co.uk.
