Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I am looking for applicants who wish to investigate topics related to the following:
- majority members' proximal acculturation (e.g. at the workplace, University, schools, third sector, society, etc.): predictors, outcomes, mechanisms
- intercultural competence, multiculturalism, intergroup contact
- operationalizing culture (e.g., values, beliefs) and testing theories across cultures
- predispositions to engage in intercultural competence training
- speciesism and pro-environmental behaviour (across cultures)

+quantitative research (correlational, longitudinal, experimental)
+mixed methods
(This also includes candidates who want to explore the synergies between applied linguistics and psychology.)
