From Our Students
"...despite her status as an internationally renowned author and scholar, when I reached out to Dr. Tosh to say how much I appreciated her work, what I found was a warm, compassionate, and approachable person, who goes above and beyond to support ALL women" - Diana, Sarnia, Canada
"Jemma Tosh went beyond her remit to give me an excellent education: a fearless woman who doesn't back down from bullies; showed me my own worth and didn't allow me to believe there are limits on what I'm capable of. An actual role model who truly changed my world..." Kerrie, London, UK
"Jemma helped to give me desperately needed confidence in my work, and light a passion for the more creative and social side of psychology. Her faith in my abilities, and pushing me towards a presentation made me so proud of myself and my work for the first time during my degree. I can’t thank her enough for all her encouragement and help during that time. She became, and remains, a bit of a role model to me, and it was simply a privilege to meet her." Laura, Manchester, UK
"...Jemma made psychology exciting in a really relatable way and gave me an outlet to explore things that are important to me! She also gave me a background in a research method that few others have done! So yeah, a big, big thank you to you!" - Amy, Nottingham, UK
