Research Interests:  Environmentally displaced people, climate change, prejudice, virtual reality and behaviour change,

 

Research Aims:  My aim is to investigate host country prejudicial attitudes towards environmentally displaced people. I aim to understand the nature of these prejudices and how they would be effectively changed using virtual reality technology. 

 

Expected Research Outcomes:  My expected research outcomes are to provide practical recommendations on how to mitigate host country reactions towards environmentally displaced people. Furthermore, I expect to have theoretical outcomes relating to the use of Integrated Threat Theory for predicting prejudice towards this population.
