Happy to see my first PhD paper out! With @jetten_j, @HemaPreya, Roberto González and Héctor Carvacho we used a person-centred approach to examine types of participants in the Chilean Student Movement (1/n)

Thesis all done and submitted. Would not have been possible without the support of my supervisors @jetten_j and @HemaPreya. Thank you both! Now on to the next challenge! 👩🏽‍💻

@shellkryan @cambiarcambios Felicidades @cambiarcambios!!

A super big congratulations to the fabulous @cambiarcambios who today passed her PhD viva with the most minor of corrections. I’m so proud of you Daniela! An Exeter tradition: popping a bottle of a champagne after the viva & where the cork lands, the new Dr signs their name

Last semester, I had students do the "UnEssay" assignment in my 3rd year social psychology course on group processes & intergroup relations. Students rose to the challenge and absolutely blew me away!!! 😭 Here are some examples of their creations (shared with permission)...
