Edoardo Zulato is an LSE Fellow in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics (LSE), where he teaches Political Psychology. He obtained his PhD in Social Psychology from the University of Milano-Bicocca and his MSc in Social and Cultural Psychology from LSE. He has also held a visiting researcher position at ISCTE-IUL in Lisbon.
As a social and cultural psychologist, Edoardo’s primary research focuses on how individuals – as members of groups, communities, and institutions – make sense of new challenges and crises, such as liminal hotspots (i.e., transitions that become ‘stuck’). His research dwells on several areas, including the social representations of health and illness, politics, science and technology, and gender identities.
In particular, Edoardo is interested in further exploring the complex relationship between order and change, understanding how different discourses and narratives (de)legitimise change at a social, legal, and institutional level, such as in end-of-life regulations and adoption of gender inclusive language.
Additionally, as a consultant, Edoardo has developed expertise in participatory research methods and community engagement, helping to promote bottom-up change in various organisations, including in the public healthcare sector.
