Recently, Britta started as our new research assistant. Britta is a licensed psychologist based in Gothenburg. Her research interest lies in how globalization and immigration are shaping modern politics, and how social and group psychology can help explain political polarization and radicalization.
Britta is specifically interested in ways in which emotions and intergroup dynamics are shaping decision-making processes and attitudinal shifts, and how such knowledge can be used to prevent further polarization. Britta has a background in clinical and applied research, investigating long-term effects of stress-related exhaustion as well as school interventions to build psychological resilience in children.
