Dr Georgina Bartlett

I gained my BSc in psychology at Royal Holloway before continuing my studies at Royal Holloway with an MSc in Forensic psychology. Subsequently, I completed my PhD at London South Bank University in 2020.
I then joined LSBU’s Simulation for Digital Health programme as an applied research fellow, where I engaged in testing and evaluation of digital health innovations for start-ups and SMEs. I joined the Division of Psychology as a lecturer in September 2021 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2025. 

My research interests lay in forensic psychology, in particular how alcohol consumption affects eyewitness memory. My research is interested not only in whether a sober witness is more reliable, but also in whether people are more likely to perceive such a witness as more reliable.
In addition, I am interested in the effects of alcohol intoxication on behaviour and cognition in forensically related contexts.

I also engage in enterprise activity, in particular providing businesses and community interest groups with academic consultancy and small scale evaluation projects. I am particularly interested in projects which support under represented communities.

Current projects

I am currently working on the following research projects:

'Does alcohol affect hate?' An investigation of the effects of alcohol intoxication on hate crime beliefs

'Understanding attitudes towards disability hate crime' 

'Understanding male friendships and experiences of loneliness'

I teach on a range of modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. I am also the Pathway leader for Forensic Psychology students. I am module leader for Psychology in the Criminal Justice System and Emotion and Human Behaviour.
