Biography
Bianca Slocombe is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations. She joined Coventry University in July 2020 after completing her Master of Research and PhD in Psychology at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. She is interested in decision-making, including cognitive heuristics and biases, and has a research background in the cognitive science of religion. Her doctoral research focused on the moderation of beliefs and values in an actor’s willingness to act violently for a sacred cause. More recently, she has been utilising her expertise in psychology and behavioural science in the field of security, including projects for the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST), the National Research Centre on Privacy, Harm Reduction and Adversarial Influence Online (REPHRAIN), and the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO). Dr Slocombe has expertise in experimental and statistical methods and is growing her skills in qualitative methods. She is particularly interested in working in interdisciplinary teams to address complex questions.
