Principal Investigator: Professor Steve Brown Department: School of Management Key areas of expertise / interest: psychology; processes of collective and recovered memories; organizational communication; children’s welfare services and practices; elderly care settings. Summary: Steve Brown’s initial doctoral work was in Critical Psychology, specifically a genealogy of the concept of ‘stress’. He subsequently lectured in the Department of Management at Keele University, where he worked at the interface of Science and Technology Studies with Critical Management Studies, including empirical work on organizational communication. A move to the interdisciplinary Department of Human Sciences at Loughborough led him back to teaching psychology. Whilst at Loughborough he developed an empirically led programme for re-specifying social approaches to memory. A co-authored book with David Middleton (The Social Psychology of Experience, 2005, Sage) summarises some of this work. Other collaborative work on remembering amongst adult survivors of child sexual abuse (with Paula Reavey) and on the Recovered Memory debate (with Malcolm Ashmore) strengthened the interdisciplinary ambitions of this programme. Steve Brown also maintains a strong interest in the development of strong accounts of process and change in social science, worked out in conceptual discussions of the work of Michel Serres, Henri Bergson, Antonin Artaud, Spinoza and others. A forthcoming book with Paul Stenner (Psychology without Foundations, 2008, Sage) draws some of this discussion together. In 2007, Steve Brown was appointed to a chair in the School of Management at Leicester University. Publications (recent): Ashmore, M. & Brown, S.D.
