Speaker: Professor John Drury
Part of the series: My Psychology: A University of Sussex Public Talk Series
In this public talk, Professor John Drury presents his career, reach and recent breakthroughs on crowd behaviour.
‘Crowds are at the centre of our social lives - from national and international events to major incidents, they constitute both the everyday and the extraordinary. Crowds can shape our behaviour and provide profound, life-changing experiences.’
Professor Drury has led research over 30 last years that dispel the myths about the crowd and developed a new understanding of the nature of identity.
‘These areas of crowd behaviour have inspired me to carry out research using a variety of research methods: crowd conflict and identity change, mass emergencies and cooperation, and the spread of behaviour between people and events’.
