Intergroup Relations & Conflict
My research on intergroup relations and conflict has adopted ‘mixed’ methods. In this section you will find different examples of laboratory experiments and field studies, using quantitative and qualitative methods. Also, you will find theoretical discussions as well as critical assessments of policies. In my recent work, I have proposed that we need to set aside the two traditional policies for managing intergroup relations, ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘assimilation’, and instead adopt an exciting and far more promising new policy, ‘omniculturalism’.
