Contact: [email protected]

Has availability as primary supervisor (Master’s, DProf & PhD supervisor programmes).

Salma obtained her doctorate in anthropology from the University of St. Andrews and later qualified as a UKCP registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor.  
 

Her main research and teaching is based in the School of Philosophical, Anthropological and Film Studies. The research work is primarily in the dialogue between psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and anthropology and is influenced by her clinical experience, of working with indigenous epistemologies, (auto)ethnography, reflexivity, identity, ritual performance, writing culture, working with people in trauma resulting from institutional processes, oppression, abuse, torture, fleeing disaster and conflict zones.  

Member of the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) Social Responsibility Committee. She is a contributor to research writing as a clinical anthropologist. Editorial Board Member, European Journal for Qualitative Research in Psychotherapy: www.EJQRP.org 

Her work and practice engage with the tension between collective guilt and personal responsibility examined from the witnessing of identity and belonging through displaced lives, gaslighting racism and systemic oppression.
