Alexandra Snee visited Scottish high to deliver an expert talk on one of the topics in Psychology – Obedience.
The audience was grade 11 and 12 IBDP students studying ESS, BM, Eco, Political Science and faculty members. ISC Psychology students of grade 12 were also included.
This was also an interdisciplinary talk keeping in mind the IBDP curriculum requirements. Alexandra is a psychology graduate of Leeds University, UK and currently working in India representing University of Roehampton, UK.
