Person

Aneeza Pervez, Dr

Teaching Associate at University of Nottingham

Dr Aneeza Pervez is a social and developmental psychologist whose research explores moral reasoning, prosociality and belonging across school and university settings. Her work focuses on how children and young people make sense of kindness, fairness and responsibility in everyday relationships, and how these values are shaped by emotional experiences and institutional conditions. She is the incoming Betty Behrens Research Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, where her project will examine the role of peer-led interventions in supporting inclusion, character development and relational ethics in primary schools. Aneeza has also written on professional silence, complicity and the ethical responsibilities of psychologists and educators in response to the genocide in Gaza. Her work challenges institutions to take seriously the moral lives of children and the values they claim to uphold. Her research has been published in Globalisation, Societies and Education, Education 3-13, British Educational Research Journal and the International Journal of Social Research Methodology.
