Honorary Treasurer (2008-2011)

Dr Richard Mallows

Dr Richard Mallows CPsychol FBPsS: As a qualified teacher I took my first degree at Birkbeck, an influential experience initiating me into the BPS and setting me up for a life time of doing two jobs at once and consequently a potential committee member. I took my second degree at York where I was the first postgraduate psychology student. I have taught at York St John College for over thirty years and have overseen the development of psychology as a subject in its own right.

The posts I have held within the BPS include Secretary/Treasurer of the Northern Branch, Secretary /Treasurer of the Social Psychology Section, Committee Member of the North Eastern Branch, and the Social Psychology Section member on Representative Council. I am currently an elected Council Representative on the Board of Trustees.

Dr Peter Banister CPsychol AFBPsS: I graduated from Durham University in Psychology, and went on to successfully complete a PhD there on the Cognitive Effects of Long Term Imprisonment. I have worked in a variety of contexts, including approved schools and prisons as a forensic psychologist.

My current definitive post is Head of Department of Psychology and Social Change at Manchester Metropolitan University, where I lecture in Criminology, Social Psychology and Qualitative Methods, and I am the Director of the BPS accredited MSc in Forensic Psychology. I have published in the areas of prisons, qualitative methods and curriculum development.

In addition I am an Open University Lecturer in Social Psychology, and a QAA Auditor. I have been the Chair of the Graduate Qualifications Accreditation Committee, and I am also currently the Chair of British Psychological North West. I have been actively involved in the Psychology curriculum at a national level, including QAA Benchmarking to Psychology in schools and FE colleges. I also play an active role in the Association of Heads of Psychology Departments.

Chair Psychology Education Board (2004-2007)

(re-appointed for 2007-2010)

Dr Richard Latto Dr. Richard Latto CPsychol FBPsS: Having been Head of the Psychology Department at Liverpool University for 14 years I have now returned to my primary research interests in visual perception. I am currently looking at why two eyes are sometimes, but not always, better than one, and at the relationship between visual science and the visual arts. I came to Liverpool after a PhD with Alan Cowey in Cambridge and a post-doc with Larry Weiskrantz in Oxford.

As well as being a founder member of the Psychology Education Board, I have served on the Graduate Qualifications Accreditation Committee and as Chair of the Board of the Qualifying Exam. Outside the Society, I have been on the committees of the Experimental Psychology Society and the Association of Heads of Departments of Psychology. My curiosity about how academic departments tick is such that I have been a Subject Reviewer for Psychology in both Scotland and England for the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education for whom I also act as an Institutional Auditor.

During my time as a researcher I have published over 130 articles in scientific journals, and I have written or edited twelve books, including most recently, 'Complete Psychology, Phobias: A Handbook of Theory, Research & Treatment, and The Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Psychology'.
