معرفی
Dr Nadia Solange Jessop is a Lecturer in Psychology in Education at the University of York's Department of Education, where she conducts interdisciplinary research on positive youth development and learning across school and community contexts. Her work integrates sociocultural, developmental, and behavioral approaches while actively collaborating through the Psychology in Education Research Centre (PERC).
Her research centers on positive youth development in majority world contexts, student civic engagement, hidden educational inequities, and international student inclusion in UK/US universities. She investigates how school, family, and community factors shape adolescent development—particularly focusing on minoritised groups—to advance equitable educational practices through community-based methodologies.
Recent 2023 publications reveal concentrated exploration of civic motivation drivers among Trinidadian adolescents, identity-based analyses of college students' civic engagement forms, and systematic reviews linking gender achievement gaps to mental health disparities. These works demonstrate methodological diversity spanning socioecological examinations, critical identity frameworks, and meta-analytic approaches within educational psychology.

She is embedded in the Psychology in Education Research Centre (PERC) and contributes to the Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre, where she examines systemic inequities through collaborative international partnerships.
