Dr Sarah Crafter

Sarah Crafter is a Senior Lecturer in Developmental and Cultural Psychology. Her research is broadly interested in young people’s migration experiences and how they impact on everyday lives, particularly their transitions to adulthood. She wrote a book in 2019 titled Developmental transitions: Exploring stability and change through the lifespan.

Sarah has previously been the Chair for the module DD803 Evaluating Psychology: research and practice, which is part of a Masters course in Psychology. She has also contributed to DE200 Investigating Psychology 2, where she critically interrogated concepts of developmental change. She is currently the Principal Investigator on a funded research project that seeks to investigate separated child migrants’ experiences of care, and caring for others, as they navigate the complexities of the immigration-welfare nexus in England. Her other strand of work focuses on the practice of child language brokering (translating and interpreting for parents who do not speak the local language following migration).
