Alex explores how to use psychology in politics for good as well as ill. 

Alex is the founder of the Collective Psychology Project and the author of The Myth Gap: What Happens When Evidence and Arguments Aren’t Enough? (Penguin, 2017), a book about the power of deep stories to transcend political polarisation and unlock systemic social and political change. 

Until March 2018, he was a Campaign Director at Avaaz, the 50-million-member global citizens’ movement, where he spent most of his time running its Brexit campaign, and also conducted work on tax havens and human rights. He’s previously been a special adviser to two UK Cabinet ministers, a policy expert in the United Nations Secretary-General’s office, and a research fellow for organisations from the Brookings Institution to the US National Intelligence Council.
