Willem Stander is a doctoral researcher based in the School of Applied Social Science at the University of Brighton. His research explores the mental health help-seeking behaviours of gay and bisexual men, focusing on their online help-seeking in particular. This includes a look at how community-based and specialist mental health services use digital and social media to reach and engage with these men. His work draws on interdisciplinary theory (e.g., critical psychology, sociology, and feminist and queer theorising) and includes collaborations with third sector organisations to produce research in aid of service design and delivery.
Willem teaches across a range of core BPS psychology curriculum areas, including quantitative and qualitative research methods. He is also a regular fixture on postgraduate modules, delivering workshops on clinical and community approaches to LGBTQ mental health, and online research ethics. He was nominated by students for the Excellence in Facilitating and Empowering Learning Award in 2019.
