PhD Research Project: Promoting inclusion and reducing discrimination

Finding effective ways to change behaviour is an important focus of social psychology. Prejudice and discrimination against individuals based on their race, sexuality, gender etc., remains a large issue in the UK, and so it is important that we examine ways in which we can reduce prejudice, and bolster positive intergroup relations and behaviour. This PhD project would involve designing and testing effective interventions to improve intergroup relations.
