Associate Lecturer
Jacinta Babaian is a Postgraduate Researcher and Associate Lecturer in the School of Psychology.
Jacinta’s research interests lie in social and applied psychology. Her research explores dementia-friendly environments and impacts to quality of life. She has worked on a three-year research project evaluating the Living Through Landscapes project, led by the charity Learning Through Landscapes and funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
