Dr Angeliki Kallitsoglou is a Senior Lecturer in Education and Psychology and a Chartered member (CPsychol) and Associate Fellow (AFBPsS) of the British Psychological Society and co-director of the Psychology (Conversion) MSc | Postgraduate Taught | University of Exeter.

Angeliki's research explores how early caregiving environments and experiences influence children’s social, emotional, and mental health outcomes. She is particularly interested in how family stress and social support processes shape caregiving, parenting and children’s adjustment, especially in families facing additional challenges. Much of her recent work has focused on caregiver wellbeing, coping, and resilience during periods of stress, including the COVID-19 lockdown. Her recent project focuses on the practical and emotional challenges experienced by mothers with children with SEND in accessing early childhood education and care. 

Angeliki is a member of the SoE Centre for Wellbeing, Inclusion and Disability in Educational Research and the inter-disciplinary cross-faculty research network, Children and Young People’s Wellbeing.

As well as research, Angeliki teaches across different modules and she mentors prospective PhD candidates. Students receive hands on training on qualitative and quantitative research methods and the use of tools to assess children's and family outcomes, parenting, and caregiving.
