David is a block leader at the DD317 module, responsible for the weeks on 'Threats and fears' that engage with the relationship between social psychology and psychoanalysis.
He is a social psychologist by training and is mainly interested in the relationship between violence and meaning-making. In terms of the module, this means looking at instances of social-political conflict and trying to understand them as emerging from (abnormal, dysfunctional, unhappy) social relationships.
David has been at the Open University since February 2015.
