Anna Roberts

I am a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Dr Sarah-Jane Vick and Prof. Hannah Buchanan-Smith. I am funded by the Faculty of Human Sciences Departmental Scholarship, University of Stirling and ESRC Studentship.

My research examines features of gestural communication in language trained chimpanzees (Language Research Centre, Georgia State University, US) and wild East African chimpanzees (Budongo Conservation Field Station, Uganda).

I teach the Social Mind tutorials (Animal Communication essay groups), the Language and Thinking practicals, Introductory Psychology tutorials and Animal Behaviour tutorials.
