Dr Grace Carroll

School Of Psychology

My research is focused on animal welfare and human-animal interactions. Specifically, I am interested in research on farm animal welfare, including pigs, beef and dairy cattle, and broiler chickens. I am also interested in anthrozoology, feline welfare, and evolutionary psychology. Current research interests include human behaviour change for improving animal welfare and understanding the evolutionary mechanisms underlying infant features in companion animals.
