Geetha Reddy, who is currently studying for her MSc at the University of Surrey, was accepted to attend the International Society of Political Psychology (ISPP) Summer Academy which will be held on July 3rd  – 5th 2012 in Chicago, USA. A fellowship at the academy is highly competitive and we are very proud that Geetha was accepted.

The Summer Academy is designed for young scholars who are likely to teach political psychology and/or conduct political psychology research in the future.  

This year the Summer Academy program hosts five new courses by prominent scholars: Susan Condor (Lancaster University), Jack Levy (Rutgers University), Victor Ottati (Loyola University Chicago) Felicia Pratto (University of Connecticut), Jerrold Post (George Washington University) and an introductory course in Political Psychology by Leonie Huddy and Stanley Feldman (Stony Brook University). Fellows will also discuss their research agendas in smaller breakout groups, and take part in a number of social activities.

Geetha’s research looks at ‘Negotiating Ethnic Identities in multicultural Singapore’ and she will present findings of her MSc thesis at the ISPP annual meeting that follows the Summer Academy in Chicago.

She is supervised by Dr Ilka Gleibs.
