Neil is an incoming PhD student in Psychology at the University of Cambridge. Originally from London, he graduated with a first-class degree and award-winning dissertation in Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. Following this, he was awarded a Masters degree in Social and Cultural Psychology from the London School of Economics and Political Science. In the masters, he achieved the grade of a high distinction and wrote a thesis exploring how the decline in the salience of a particular collective memory with time (the collective memory of WW2) might allow for a resurgence of attitudes the collective memory had previously stigmatised: specifically - populism, nationalism and antisemitism. As a PhD student, Neil will be investigating psychological techniques for countering and understanding misinformation in the modern-day, with a specific lens on antisemitic misinformation.
