Dr Andrew McNeill - Lecturer

Dr Andrew McNeill Lecturer
Dr Andrew McNeill

Andrew McNeill (PhD, FHEA) is Lecturer in Qualitative Research Methods in Psychology at Queen's University Belfast School of Psychology. He completed his undergraduate degree and PhD in Psychology at Queen's University. He completed his PhD in 2013 focusing on the rhetoric of intergroup victimhood in Northern Ireland under the supervision of Sam Pehrson and Clifford Stevenson. Subsequently, he completed two post-doctoral research roles at Northumbria University. With Prof. Pam Briggs (Northumbria) he studied the spread of H1N1 information on social media during the 2009-10 "swine flu" pandemic. With Prof. Lynne Coventry (Abertay) he explored the design of assistive technology and social networks for older adults as part of a Horizon 2020 project. In 2018, he became a lecturer, progressing to Senior Lecturer, at Northumbria University. During this time, he worked on a variety of research projects including intergroup victimhood narratives, studies of conflicting nutrition information on social media, experiences of patients on waiting lists, implicit accent biases, the impact of conspiracy theories on affected groups, and the role of empathy in understanding attitudes to refugees.
 
While Andrew's research is diverse and draws on a wide range of methods, he is particularly keen to promote the use of qualitative research methods. He has written on the application of qualitative methods to the analysis of social media data (McNeill & Burke, 2021) and uses a wide range of qualitative methods in his research including IPA, content analysis, and discursive psychology. He has taught IPA, conversation analysis, and discursive psychology at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and he particularly enjoys helping students to see the value of discursive psychology in challenging dominant ways of thinking about psychology.
