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.

His research focuses on leadership and followership, group processes and teamwork, and health and well-being in applied contexts – research he has conducted in collaboration with over 100 researchers across the globe. 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. For his work on leadership development around the 5R program (particularly with Alex Haslam, Kim Peters, and Blake McMillan), he received the Australian Psychology Society’s Workplace Excellence Award for Leadership Development in 2017 and was finalist of the 2023 Academy of Management’s MED evidence-based leadership development program award.
