Overview

Prior to joining the Department of Psychology at City University London in 2013, Professor Howe was University Chair in Developmental Psychology and Co-director of the Centre for Research in Human Development at Lancaster University (2005-2012); Professor of Psychology, Dean of Research, Dean of Graduate Studies, and National Director of the Centre of Excellence for Children and Adolescents with Special Needs, at Lakehead University, Canada (1999-2005); and Professor of Psychology at both Memorial University (1985-1999) and the University of Victoria (1982-1985), Canada.

He has conducted research on memory and cognitive development for over 30 years and has published numerous peer-reviewed articles, chapters, and books. In addition, Professor Howe makes regular media contributions to television, radio and newspapers, and continues to give public lectures on memory and trauma, early memory development, and memory and the law. For over 20 years, he has served as a consultant on memory in the courtroom in Canada, the USA, and the UK, and regularly testifies about matters concerning adult recollections of early childhood experiences.

Professor Howe is currently the Editor of Memory and the Associate Editor of Developmental Review. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, American Psychological Association and Association for Psychological Science.
