About

I am Honorary Lecturer in Psychology at 重口味SM, a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. I studied at the universities of Sheffield, London and Leicester, and held previous posts at the Institute of Psychiatry, University of Westminster, King's College Medical School, University College London, St Bartholomew's Medical School, Queen Mary College and the Tavistock Institute. I am the author of over 60 refereed articles as well as writing and editing fourteen books, including Just War: Psychology & Terrorism (2007), Reel to Real: Psychiatry at the Cinema (2011), The New Politics of Experience and The Bitter Herbs (2014) (all with PCCS) and Psychology and Capitalism (2015), The Off-Modern: Psychology estranged (2017), Capitalism on Campus (2018) (with Zero Books), Francis Huxley and the Human Condition: Anthropology, ancestry and knowledge (2020) (Routledge). Svetlana Boym (2022) The Origins of Nostalgia: memories and reflections (Bloomsbury). Huxley in Haiti (2022) (CIDIHCA). I am currently a member of the Psychologists for Social Change group and during the 1980s-1990s wrote for and edited Science for People magazine in the UK. I have been a frequent media commentator on both national and international media on student sex work (BBC1, Channel 4, BBC World Service, BBC local radio, FDZ (Germany), Rai Uno (Italy). As well as pioneering work on student mental health and student participation in the sex industry, I contributed to Antarctic Resolutions which won the 2021 DAM Architectural Book Award and the 2022 Grand Prize of the European Commission honouring Innovation in Technology, Industry and Society stimulated by the Arts.

Research

My research interests lie in social memory, student mental health, student sex work, political psychology and the politics of psychology. In addition I have written on parapsychology, social anthropology and nostalgia. Together with Theodor Itten I co-authored a biography of Francis Huxley, a member of the illustrious Huxley family.
