Biography
Dr Riley Scott is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology and Wellbeing, based at Ipswich campus. She conducts research in the areas of social, cyber, and developmental psychology, with a particular focus on the psychosocial and developmental implications of online engagement and interactions.
