Über den Autor

Constance de Saint-Laurent is a Research and Teaching Fellow at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where she previously completed a PhD on the sociocultural psychology of collective memory. Her research focuses on social thinking, imagination and the life-course, and more generally on how people construct and understand the world in which they live. Sandra Obradovic is based at the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK. Her research focuses on the role that identity, power and representations of history play in shaping attitudes and behaviours towards socio-political change. Kevin R. Carriere studies at Georgetown University, USA, where he is examining the political psychology of perceived threat and its effects on support for human rights violations. His research focuses on how individuals understand, apply, and negotiate human rights and their violations through negotiation, education, and activism.
