Craig McGarty is Professor of Psychology at Western Sydney University. He received his undergraduate training in psychology at the University of Adelaide and his PhD from Macquarie University in 1991 (where he was a tutor from 1985 until 1989). He spent 1990 as a lecturer in social psychology/social interaction at the University of Western Sydney and moved in 1991 to the Australian National University as a research associate. He was Reader and Head of the School of Psychology before moving to Murdoch University in Western Australia as the Director of the Centre for Social and Community Research and then Director of the Social Research Institute.

Tegan Cruwys is an Associate Professor and NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow at the Australian National University and a former Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow. Her research investigates how social relationships shape mental and physical health ― work that is at the intersection of social, clinical and health psychology. She is passionate about the capacity our psychological theorising and methods to help us tackle big problems like discrimination, loneliness, and health inequality. She has authored over 140 papers on these topics, as well as The New Psychology of Health: Unlocking the Social Cure (with Catherine Haslam, Jolanda Jetten, Genevieve Dingle, and Alex Haslam, 2018) ― winner of the British Psychology Society’s Textbook of the Year award in 2020.

He collaborates with and consults to organisations, community groups, and industry to use theory and evidence to solve applied problems and improve group and organisational functioning. He recently co-edited Organizational Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies (with Michelle Ryan and Floor Rink, 2022). In 2018 he was awarded a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) by the Australian Research Council.
