Personal statement

Ngosa is the Programme Leader for the MSc Investigative Forensic Psychology and a dedicated Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

Her research integrates social justice and gender studies within forensic psychology, employing mixed-methods approaches to explore complex and sensitive social phenomena. She focuses on the experiences of survivors of violence and coercive control, examining how power dynamics shape communication, narrative construction, and interactions with forensic professionals, as well as how institutional contexts influence survivors’ disclosures.

Ngosa’s broader interests address the relationship between crime, marginalisation, and policy. Her work considers how legislation, cultural beliefs, and intersectionality shape responses to crime and victimhood, and evaluates the effectiveness of services supporting survivors. Through her research and teaching, Ngosa seeks to amplify marginalised voices and promote more informed, empathetic practices within forensic psychology.
