Ivana Marková

Ivana Marková is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the University of Stirling. She is a Fellow of he British Psychologial Society, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the British Academy. Over the years she has been a frequent visitor to the LSE giving seminars, carrying out joint international projects with members of the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science (DPBS) and examining various projects at the LSE.

Ivana Marková was born in Czechoslovakia and came to the UK in 1967 as a post-doctoral visitor to the Psychological Laboratory, University of Cambridge. After the invasion of Czechoslovakia by armies of the Soviet bloc in 1968 she decided to stay in the UK. In 1970 she accepted a post at the University of Stirling where she remained throughout her career, although she has been a frequent visiting professor at various universities in the UK and abroad.

She has served at various national and international committees, e.g. she was a member of the Chief Scientist's Health Services Research Committee, Scottish Home and Health Department, a chairperson of the Social Psychology Section of the BPS, President of Section J (Psychology) of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the Scientific Committee of the Academia Istropolitana, a newly established Centre of Advanced Studies in Central Europe, Bratislava, Slovakia, a member of the Comité de direction, Laboratoire Européen de Psychologie Sociale, Maison des Sciences de L'Homme, Paris, a vice-President of International Society of Applied Linguistics, among others.

Since 2007 she has been an international fellow of the Open Society in the Department of Psychology at the State University of the Republic of Moldova, helping the Department to develop BA and MSc in social psychology.

Although her main field of study is social psychology, Ivana Marková is interested in opening  up social psychology to other human and social sciences, to philosophy and to practical applications.

Her theoretical research is concerned with epistemology of social psychology and with the development of dialogical concepts, for example of trust, responsibility, the self and social recognition, focusing particularly on the theory of social representations, language and communication.

Her empirical research, supported by numerous research grants, has been concerned with representations of and communication in illness and disability (e.g. haemophilia, polycystic disease of the kidney, HIV/AIDS, learning disability, cerebral palsy) and with representations of political phenomena (social representations of democracy, of individualism, of individual and collective responsibility, of trust). In 2003, as a Fellow of the Columbia University, she led a research team in the Institute of Advanced Studies in the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, carrying out an international project entitled Representations and discourses of trust and democracy: a social psychological approach.

At present she is carrying out a Leverhulme funded project on Trust in social representations and dialogicality, and she is as member of several international study groups concerned with the research on trust, language and social representations.
