Themes | I'm currently interested in applying social psychology (i.e., intergroup contact theory) through team learning and an educational philosophy called Exploratory Practice to understand indigenous (emic) psychology concepts via Online Intercultural Exchanges with students and teachers in Japan, China, Germany, and Indonesia. The primary goal is to use "Virtual Intercultural Fieldwork" as a methodology to theorize and practice a pedagogy of "mutual transcultural understanding." |
