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 psychological concepts via Online Intercultural Exchanges with students and teachers in Japan, China, Germany, and Indonesia. The primary goal is to theorize and practice a pedagogy of "positive mutual intercultural understanding."
