PS. It really was (fab). For a wide range pf reasons. I’m very much looking forward to ICSILF2.

If you are interested in social identity and leadership you should definitely think about coming along to the 1st International Conference on Social Identity and Leadership and Followership (ICSILF) in Prague on 20 May 2025 (a day before EAWOP). It's going to be fab. sasp.org.au/2024/11/call...

I asked ChatGPT why there has been an upsurge of interest in applied social identity research. It identified 6 factors: 1. Recognition of the Limits of Individualism 2. Robust Evidence from Basic Research 3. Global Crises Highlighting the Importance of Social Cohesion … (cont)

We worked on this paper for about 10 years before finally seeing it in print. It connects with issues that have been central to the discipline of psychology for the last century — but which, we argue, fell by the wayside due to a limited understanding of the nature of the self.

A paper I often share with students (and others): 'A single-item measure of social identification: Reliability, validity, and utility', from @alexhaslam.bsky.social & Tom Postmes bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Yes, this was a really great meeting — all the better for being small and intimate. It was a great opportunity to connect, and explore the nuances of leadership.

Not new but re-reading this for something I'm writing: 'Examining the role of Donald Trump and his supporters in the 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol: A dual-agency model of identity leadership and engaged followership' @alexhaslam.bsky.social research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/ha...

I was fortunate to meet Jimmy Carter when I was a postgrad at Emory U in 1986. It was clear then that he was a passionate advocate for human rights and for the transformative power of education. In the interests of his legacy, I’m glad he left us before Jan 20. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Is your job being enshittified? In all likelihood, I'm guessing yes. There's a lovely article by @brucedaisley.bsky.social here on the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year. www.linkedin.com/pulse/resist...

"All cognition is social cognition" Organizational psychologists, health psychologists and others who are not familiar with the work of Haslam et al, don't miss your chance to learn about 25 years of research in 40 min right here where the sky is blue:

Congratulations to Jolanda Jetten for winning the award for lifetime contribution to social psychology at #SASP2024. Hugely well deserved and a really fantastic achievement.

My short talk at #SASP2024 today will revisit the keynote I gave at EAWOP last year on 25 Years of the Social Identity Approach to Psychology in Organizations, focusing on the proven value of the approach in the context of COVID-19. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Really enjoyed the 7-paper session on Truth and Consequences at #SASP2024. Great contributions from Smithson, Tay, Jiang, Wang, Andrews, Felice, Platow and Reynolds

Looking forward to participating in the #SASP2024 pre-conference on Social Identity in the Workplace organised by Andrew Frain and @blake-mc.bsky.social

We’re on a two-day drive down to #SASP2024 at ANU, spending the night in the Shearers’ Quarters at Goonoo Goonoo Station.

Excited to share the champagne that my friends Kim Peters & Nik Steffens won as an award for “worst set of reviews of the year”. In a special issue on replication they were criticised because “if a study replicates we don’t know more than we did before; if it doesn’t, science comes to a standstill”

Had a fantastic evening seeing #RoundTheTwist at QPAC tonight. An absolutely brilliant realisation of Paul Jennings’ quirky TV show, that was the most fun I think I’ve ever had at the theatre. Bravo to everyone involved. www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/n...

We've just had a paper on "engaged onlooking" led by Fergus Neville published in EJSP. Three studies explore the ways in which identification with an organization leads people to condone that organization's wrong-doing. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I’m in Melbourne today to give a couple of lectures at the ANZ School of Government. Amongst other things I’ll be talking about Zombie Leadership. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

As I just posted on LinkedIn, I'm hoping that Blue Sky is going to provide us with an opportunity to revitalise the identities that we lost when Twitter was Elonified. If the theory is right, this could be a good way to experience some post-traumatic growth. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Farewell X; hello blue sky. Here’s to a better future for us all.
