Kia ora! I’m Tracy Morison

Associate Professor: Massey University, New Zealand

Senior Lecturer (2020-2023), Lecturer (2016-2019)

In 2016, I joined the Critical Health Psychology Programme at Massey, founded by internationally renowned academics from the School of Psychology, Kerry Chamberlain, Antonia Lyons, and Christine Stephens. Massey has been a leading light in critical health psychology, and in 2020 the programme celebrated its 30th Anniversary. (Read more about the history here.) As part of this role, I teach a 15-credit postgraduate course, Promoting Health, and am the course coordinator of our Practicum course, which gives students practical experience in a health organisation. I also conduct my funded research, supervise student research, and engage in academic service, including: peer review, examining student theses, editorial work, and community and media engagement.

Editor: Feminism & Psychology Journal

F&P is a leading international academic journal. It has significant scholarly impact (IF 5, 3023) and it highly regarded (ranked #1 in Women's Studies and #14 in Psychology).  The journal has an Editor-in Chief and 2 Editors, along with a team of invited Associate editors, who are usually highly regarded feminist scholars working on a range of topics that are featured in F&P publications.

In 2019 I was made Associate Editor after responding to a call and being invited to join by the editorial team. In 2021, I was appointed as an editor after successfully applying to a call put out by the publisher (SAGE).
