Beschreibung:
Sandra Jovchelovitch is Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology and Director of the MSc Programme in Social Psychology at the London School of Economics. Before coming to England, she trained as a psychologist in Brazil, where she actively participated in the process of de-institutionalisation and re-structuring of policies related to the care of the mentally ill. Her research interests are both theoretical and applied and she has published widely in the field of social representations, health, community and development in both English and Portuguese.
Explores the relationship between knowledge and context through a novel analysis of processes of representation, and argues that representation, a social psychological construct relating self, other and object-world, is at the basis of all knowledge.
