Post-doctoral fellow Department of Political Science, Concordia University
My research focuses on the psychology and politics of diversity. I study the adaptation and participation of newcomers and how the social perceptions of others influence support for the rights of minority communities. The main issues examined in my research relate to processes of inclusion and integration and the reactions of majority group members to changing diversity in their communities. I am also interested in research methods and the challenges of conducting social science research in cross-cultural settings, drawing primarily on survey and experimental methods to study public opinion and political behaviour.
