Professor D S Lindsay Visiting Professorship

Professor D. Stephen Lindsay is an internationally acclaimed expert in the field of basic and applied human memory. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, an undergraduate textbook, four edited books and 25 chapters, which together have been cited over 14,000 times. Professor Lindsay has been awarded prestigious national and international grants totalling US$2.5 million. He co-developed the highly influential source monitoring framework which characterizes the processes involved in identifying the source of memorial information. He is the current Editor-in-Chief of Psychological Science, the world’s leading general, empirical psychology journal. He is one of the key voices leading the field through the current renaissance surrounding replication and open science. His expertise in basic and applied memory is pertinent to current high-profile challenges facing the UK criminal justice system (e.g. allegations of ‘non-recent’ abuse, achieving best evidence from witnesses, police use of body-worn cameras, line-up identification procedures). The goal of this Visiting Professorship is to bring Professor Lindsay to the UK to share his unparalleled knowledge and expertise with a wide audience of academics (including journal editors), early-career researchers, students, the public and key stakeholders via a series of Leverhulme Lectures, workshops, and planned research at six collaborating UK institutions.
