About the Centre
The Center for Sociocultural Research of the National Research University Higher School of Economics was founded in 2019 on the basis of the International Scientific and Educational Laboratory of Sociocultural Research of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (previously, from 2006 to March 2011, the Scientific and Educational Laboratory of Social and Psychological Research).
The scientific director of the center, and previously the director, is Nadezhda Lebedeva - Doctor of Psychology, full professor at the HSE University, a recognized scientist in the field of ethnic and cross-cultural psychology, author of more than 20 books and 200 scientific articles.
The director of the center is Alexander Tatarko, Doctor of Psychology, professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, a leading scientist in the field of social and economic psychology, author of more than 15 books and 100 scientific articles.
Every year, the center’s staff takes part in the HSE International Conference on Problems of Economic and Social Development (section “Sociocultural Processes”), in the Center’s International Conference “Culture in Society, Between Groups and Across Generations,” as well as in international and Russian psychological scientific events.
The center conducts not only active scientific, but also educational activities: a Russian-language (previously English-language) master's program “Applied Social Psychology” was opened in the Department of Psychology of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The program is based on the structure and set of disciplines characteristic of the best master's programs in social psychology at universities in Europe and Russia. The training provides for the training of specialists in various fields of theoretical and applied social psychology in four areas: social psychology, cross-cultural psychology, economic psychology, work psychology and organizational psychology. Students are given the opportunity to take advantage of academic mobility throughout the entire period of study. The teaching staff of the program is represented by the center’s staff and teachers from the Faculty of Social Sciences.
The center hosts a scientific seminar “Culture Matters” on an ongoing basis. In June 2011, we held the first International Summer School “Values and Socio-Economic Behavior: Cross-Cultural Measurements and Explanatory Models”. Further, International Summer Schools began to be held on an ongoing basis.
