| Results and Impact | In my inaugural professorial lecture at Queen's University Belfast, I outlined to a diverse audience of academics and policy makers how the findings from my ESRC grant can help us to understand how by observing, or imagining, a positive intergroup encounter, our behaviour towards members of those groups can be made more positive, relaxed, and comfortable. These behavioural changes in turn have knock-on effects for the success of intergroup relations. |
