research overview |
<p>My current research concerns discursive and affective practices. I am interested
in patterns in people's embodied meaning-making and understanding the trajectories
in their emotional responses and everyday activities. These patterns are closely implicated
in the development of subjectivity and identity, and strongly connected with social
relations, broader cultural formations and collective sense-making. My current theoretical
work explores how best to theorize and investigate affective meaning-making, and this
topic is the subject of my most recent book<em>Affect and Emotion: A New Social Science
Understanding</em>published by Sage.</p><p>My work in the 1980s (with Jonathan Potter
and other colleagues) established the field of discourse analysis in social psychology
and in social research more widely. I have published many articles and books in this
area, but our 1987 volume<em>Discourse and Social Psychology</em>is probably the best
known and has been very widely cited. My books and articles have been translated into
a number of languages including Spanish, Greek, Chinese, German, Turkish and French.
From 1999 to 2004 I was Chief Editor (with Stephen Reicher) of the<em>British Journal
of Social Psychology</em>.</p><p>In 2003 I was appointed as the Director of the ESRC
Programme on<em>Identities and Social Action</em>. This role which continued until
2009 involved managing and leading a£4million public investment in research
on identity issues. The ISA Programme consisted of 25 research projects across UK
universities and brought together over 90 researchers in social psychology, sociology,
anthropology, cultural studies, geography, sociolinguistics, social policy and education.
Three edited books gather together the fruits of this work (see Recent Publications)
while<em>The Sage Handbook of Identities</em>I edited with Chandra Talpade Mohanty
and published in 2010 presents a 27 chapter overview of the field of identity research,
bringing together work on identities from across the globe.</p><h5><strong>Books</strong></h5><p>Wetherell,

<p>I held a Chair in Social Psychology at The Open University until I retired in 2011.
I now combine an Emeritus Professor position with a half-time Chair in the Psychology
Department at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Over the 23 years I worked
at the OU, my research focused on developing discourse theory and methods for social
research and on the study of identity including investigations of ethnic and national
identities, citizen identities, and the social psychology of masculinities. From 2003-2008,
I directed the Identities and Social Action Programme for the UK Economic and Social
Research Council and this was followed by the award of an ESRC Director’s fellowship
in 2009/2010.</p> |
