Dr Linus Peitz PhD

Dr Linus Peitz joined Greenwich in 2023 as a postdoctoral research associate on the project 'Righting Recidivism' led by Dr Martha Newson (Future Leaders Fellow, University of Greenwich), investigating the social and cognitive underpinnings of re-offending behaviour.

He received his PhD in social psychology from the University of Kent in 2021 and has previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Faculty of Psychology at the Philipps University Marburg and the School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent.

Linus’ research focuses on the impact of groups and how they contribute to peoples’ attitudes and behaviours in different social, professional and political contexts.
