Additional information
In this public talk, Professor John Drury presents his career, reach and recent breakthroughs on crowd behaviour. ‘Crowds are at the centre of our social lives - from national and international events to major incidents, they constitute both the everyday and the extraordinary. Crowds can shape our behaviour and provide profound, life-changing experiences.’ Professor Drury has led research over 30 last years that dispel the myths about the crowd and developed a new understanding of the nature of identity. ‘These areas of crowd behaviour have inspired me to carry out research using a variety of research methods: crowd conflict and identity change, mass emergencies and cooperation, and the spread of behaviour between people and events’. £5 Standard£3 Reduced (Students, Retired) |
