What is my role within CATALPA?

As a doctoral student in psychology focusing on a social psychology topic, I work in the Stereotype Threat junior research group on issues related to stereotypes about student groups as well as the consequences that can potentially arise from negative stereotypes about certain groups.


Why CATALPA?

Working in the research focus area provides me with a broad-based network with a variety of experts who inspire networked thinking and new perspectives. This keeps innovation and discussion ever present, which challenges and drives my own work. In this research focus, I want to raise awareness of negatively stereotyped groups in the digital university and lay the foundation for improving the social and learning conditions of such groups.
