Dr Jonathan Rowson leads the RSA Social Brain project.
After degrees from Oxford and Harvard, his Doctoral research was an examination of the concept of wisdom, including a detailed analysis of the challenge of overcoming the psycho-social constraints that prevent people becoming 'wiser', similar to what the RSA terms the 'social aspiration gap'.
A chess Grandmaster, Jonathan was British Champion for three consecutive years 2004-6.
