Sandra Jovchelovitch

My overall project, present in my teaching, research and applied work, is firmly grounded on the idea of psychology as a societal and cultural science.

I direct the MSc in Social and Cultural Psychology and convene its core course PS400 Contemporary Social and Cultural Psychology. I also teach in all the core courses of our other three MSc programmes Organisational and Social Psychology, Social and Public Communication and Health Community and Development. In the Lent Term I run two half-unit courses on Representations, Institutions and Communities (PS437), and with Caroline Howarth, Social Representations (PS410).   

I love to teach and consider a real privilege to have the opportunity of meeting the exceptional students who come to the LSE. I was quite thrilled when I received the LSE Teaching Prize, for outstanding teaching performance. Teaching keeps my research and intellectual concerns alive and it is thanks to my students that I have managed to clarify a great deal of my ideas!

I supervise PhD students in a variety of fields of research in social and cultural psychology, including social representations, community, social change, health, the social psychology of public spheres, the socio-cognitive development of knowledge, children's representations, dialogue and perspective-taking. I expect my PhD students to engage with my research interests and to become active members of our research environment.

Visit my former student Asi Sharabi|'s blog to read his thesis on perspective-taking. It is a beautiful piece of work, which received the LSE Mackenzie Prize for best performance and the Michael Young prize|, conferred by the ESRC for pieces of work that can best translate into practices for alleviating social suffering and inequalities.
