I am planning this new book with Dr Derek Ong, quant supremo at the University of Hertfordshire (OK that’s not his official job title but it is what he is). And I’m so, so happy about it. I feel as if my scholarly life has come full circle, because my first degree was in social psychology in the early 1980s when psychology was an entirely quantitative subject, at least at undergraduate level. I’m also super excited because I know there is a whole load of fascinating creative work being done by quant researchers, and I’m really looking forward to showcasing the best of it in this book. I know the book is needed, too, because the few people I’ve mentioned it to have been very positive, making comments like “Hurry up, I want to read it”!

Our call for chapter proposals is online here with a link to download the call as a PDF. Bristol University Press are interested in publishing our book, and the deadline for proposals is 15 May 2026. Please share the call far and wide, and/or with anyone you think might be interested. Thank you!
