Clint Knight is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at James Cook University. His research focuses on social and political psychology, with expertise in intergroup processes, social cognition, and individual differences.

Research themes consistently address how systemic biases and group dynamics influence social behavior, with recent work exploring gender-based in-group bias and perceptions of prejudice. Earlier studies investigated moral essentialism and system justification mechanisms.
Current research projects guide Honours/Postgraduate students in ex-offender reintegration challenges and collective action motivations linked to identity and nationalism.
