Makanju D (2022). When we were kings: the role of appraisals of African history in in-group engagement and intergroup relations.

The research in this thesis investigates the role of appraisals of African history in social identity processes and intergroup relations. Historical processes are an established theme in the field of social identity and intergroup relations, but our focus will be on post-colonial settings, specifically the African context. This is important for several reasons. First, Africa is a region that suffers from the adverse impact of problematic depictions or misrepresentations of its collective history which may hamper the positive self-definition and self-determination of Africans in dealing with contemporary problems facing Africa. Second, most of the empirical work that investigates historical processes in social psychology has been conducted mainly in WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialised Rich Democratic) contexts. Hence, an examination of historical processes and social identity-related approaches in non-WEIRD contexts is essential to move the field forward. Last, focussing on African identity and history allows investigation of how historical processes are relevant to progressive intergroup relations by challenging problematic appraisals of African history that were functional in the West for a long time (and may still be functional today) as they serve to legitimise status relations between Africa and the West and to justify colonialism. Altogether, this thesis investigates the role that historical representations of African identity play in social identity processes and intergroup relations by examining (1) Africans' appraisals of their collective history and how that may shape Africans' engagement with African identity; and (2) White British peoples’ appraisals of African history and how that may impact intergroup beliefs, emotions, and behaviours towards Africans. The overall contribution of the thesis is to investigate the relevance of how collective history is appraised in social identity processes and intergroup relations and cross-culturally examine these historical processes in a non-WEIRD, post-colonial context: Africa.

Cooper J (2020). Surveillance in the digital age: Exploring positive outcomes of surveillance in the form of group-based recognition.

Narratives surrounding algorithmic surveillance typically emphasise negativity and concerns about privacy. In contrast, we argue that current research underestimates potentially positive consequences of algorithmic surveillance in the form of group-based recognition. Specifically, we test whether (accurate) algorithmic surveillance (i.e. the extent to which those surveilled believe surveillance mirrors their own self-concept) provides a vehicle for group-based recognition in two contexts: (1) those under outgroup surveillance and (2) surveillance from the perspective of stigmatised and misrecognised groups. In turn, we test whether this can lead to more positive (and less negative) feelings towards surveillance. Alongside this, we also test whether a countervailing negative pathway exists, whereby more accurate surveillance is associated with more privacy concern, and in turn, more negative (and less positive) feelings towards surveillance. The final study also tests whether positive perceptions of accurate surveillance arising through group-based recognition are limited only to misrecognised groups, or whether this is true for people more generally. Across seven studies, we test the core hypothesis that group-based recognition from accurate surveillance provides a basis for positive reactions to algorithmic surveillance that countervails the negative pathway through privacy concern. Overall, we found support for the positive pathway, whereby more accurate surveillance was associated with more positive feelings towards surveillance through group-based recognition. The positive pathway was present for both typically recognised and misrecognised groups. We also found partial support for the negative pathway; whereby privacy concern was associated with less positive feelings towards surveillance. However, we did not find that surveillance accuracy was associated with privacy concern; one implication of this is that the presence of surveillance per se overwhelms any additional effect of surveillance accuracy. Additionally, surveiller social identity (ingroup vs. outgroup) influenced both the positive and negative pathways: surveillance from an outgroup was considered less trustworthy than ingroup surveillance, which in turn predicted less positive outcomes in the form of more privacy concern and less group-based recognition. This thesis challenges the current techno-pessimistic view that algorithms are inherently negative and contributes to research that endeavours to gain a greater understanding of society’s relationship with algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Other

My research on national identity in Wales formed part of the evidence drawn on by Margaret Wetherell in a briefing given to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for his December 2006 speech on multiculturalism and extremism (see http://csp.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/28/3/299). This research also formed part of a submission to the UK Commission on Integration and Cohesion.

I have also collaborated in past research on crowd behaviour which has had a major practical impact on public order policing in the UK and in other European countries (e.g., Stott et al., 2007; 2008). Several outputs from this research were cited in a report to the UK Cabinet Office as part of the 'Understanding Crowd Behaviour' research report series (see http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/228115/supportingevidence1.pdf). The research has also influenced recommended 'best practice' for policing crowds and protests in the UK (see http://www.hmic.gov.uk/media/adapting-to-protest-nurturing-the-british-model-of-policing-20091125.pdf).
