Joanne R. Smith is Head of Department of Psychology at the University of Exeter and a Professor of Social Psychology. My research focuses on the ways in which social identity and group norms influences the way that we think, feel, and act in relation to ourselves and other people. My work has a strong applied and interdisciplinary aspect, and I have worked on broad topics in health and sustainable behaviour. I completed my PhD at the University of Queensland in 2003 and worked at UQ as a postdoctoral research fellow from 2003 to 2007. I joined the University of Exeter in 2007. Prior to my appointment as Head of Department in 2021, I was Director of Research from 2017-2021 and Director of Education from 2012-2014. I have published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and I am series editor (with Alex Haslam) of the Sage series Psychology: Revisiting the classic studies.
