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-examination of issues raised by the Stanford Prison Experiment and combined compelling broadcasting with leading-edge social science research. The results of the study were subsequently published in a number of leading psychology journals. Amongst other things, these challenged the role account of tyranny proposed by Zimbardo as well as broader ideas surrounding the 'banality of evil'.
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. He is a recipient of the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology's Kurt Lewin award, and a fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.
