Christopher Badcock
Christopher Badcock is currently a reader in sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Although he is a sociologist by training, Badcock's research interests lie very firmly in the camp of evolutionary psychologists and modern Darwinism. He has rejected explanations of human behaviour put forward by the standard social sciences model and advocates an interdisciplinary approach to solving such problems. He was educated at Maidstone Grammar School and received a B.Sc. in sociology and social anthropology at the LSE, where he also completed his Ph.D. in 1973. After lecturing in sociology at the Polytechnic of the South Bank, he was appointed to the staff of the Department of Sociology in 1974. He was also engaged in a private didactic analysis with Anna Freud until her death in 1982. Between 1981 and 1987 he was managing editor and associate editor of the British Journal of Sociology. He is a frequent guest on BBC radio, speaking on evolution, psychology and genetics.
