Lee de-Wit

I teach a short summer course exploring how psychology and cognitive science can help us understand politics and polarization, and ultimately exploring what this might mean for how we could do politics better.

I'm currently the Director of Education in the Department of Psychology in Cambridge, where I also direct the Political Psychology Lab. My research is focused on applying cutting-edge methods in experimental psychology and computational social psychology to understand politics. In this lecture series for PACE I want to invite you to think with me about what those lessons from political psychology might mean for how we could do politics better. I'm excited to do this with an audience from all around the world, with different disciplinary backgrounds.
