Alex Haslam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen Alexander Haslam (Alex Haslam) is a Professor of Social Psychology in the School of Psychology at the University of Exeter.

His research is in the area of organisational psychology, and he famously collaborated with Professor Stephen Reicher of the University of St Andrews on the BBC television programme "The Experiment", which examined conflict, order, rebellion and tyranny in the behaviour of a group of individuals held in a simulated prison environment. "The Experiment" was billed as a "re-run" of the Stanford Prison Experiment and attempted to combine compelling broadcasting with leading-edge social science research.

Haslam holds the MA degree from St Andrews and the PhD from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. Prior to his appointment to Exeter, he had worked at the Australian National University in Canberra.
