Post-Doctoral Fellows
Deborah Shulman, PhD
Deborah is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of East Anglia (UK) co-supervised by Rose Meleady, Richard Crisp, and Gordon Hodson.
Deborah's work broadly focuses on the psychology of intergroup relations. Her current research explores whether, and under what conditions, intergroup contact can encourage more flexible and creative ways of thinking.
Deborah's overarching goal is to develop evidence-based psychological interventions that have the potential to benefit society. In her PhD (supervised by Eran Halperin, Michal Reifen-Tagar, & Thomas Kessler), Deborah has developed and tested interventions to reduce support for ingroup harmdoing toward outgroup members, primarily in the context of violent intergroup conflict. Deborah is also interested in understanding the role of moral identity, moral emotions, and moral reasoning as both barriers and facilitators of attitude and behavioural change.
