I'm on the lookout for postdoc & research opportunities in France 🇫🇷! I use mixed methods to explore community & social psychology topics, with a focus on intergroup processes and social change.

If you know of any opportunities, I’d love to connect! #AcademicTwitter #Postdoc

🎉 My new paper in BJSP shows how feminist leaders across Aus, UK, & USA create trans-inclusive groups, the challenges they face from repressive environments when doing so, and their strategic responses to maintain group identity & values.

Yesterday I graduated with my PhD in social psychology🎉 I’m deeply grateful to my partner, family, friends, examiners, peers, and especially my three incredible supervisors whose mentorship shaped my work. Next stop: Europe—open to postdocs in France & beyond!

I am thrilled to announce that my PhD program at UQ has finished! 🎉 In this next chapter, I'm seeking postdoc and research opportunities in France/remote from France in intergroup processes, social movements, and/or social justice. Please reach out to connect 😊

Excited to be confirmed as a speaker at the small group meeting on crowds & leadership @UniofExeter in June! I'll be sharing work from an upcoming chapter with collaborators Olivia Evans & @HemaPreya examining the use of historical narratives in Australia's 2023 Voice Referendum.

It was wonderful working with One Woman Project to share my PhD research with the public through their blog. You can read an abridged version of my mixed-methods Twitter/X study on feminist discourses concerning trans women here: https://t.co/cj0jtGaxxq

@joelmelb @HemaPreya Thank you! :)

PhD thesis submitted! A mixed-methods project about cis women's inclusion of trans women that elicited backlash at times but also far, far more support. My deepest gratitude to those who supported me along this journey to-date, not least of all my wonderful supervisor @HemaPreya!

Pleased to have received an honorable mention in @QualPsy's 2022 Ruthellen Josselson Student Research Awards for my upcoming PhD interview project with social movement leaders. Congratulations to all winners!

I participated in this study as one of the many #strandedaussies. Thank you to the authors for listening to us when we were routinely silenced throughout the pandemic. Very difficult to re-read & re-experience the trauma of my community, but essential reading for all Australians.

We collected the experiences of thousands who were negatively affected by Australia’s international border closure. Read the qualitative analysis of n ≈ 2000 participants locked in or out of the country. https://t.co/o2RwZe5MMc

@echoechoR Just finished watching your talk! It's always exciting to meet another Com Psyc 'in the wild' 😊 I've never thought about the capacity of ppt before, & I can't wait to apply what you've shared to my own PhD work.

Having a great brainstorming session with @dannagalher on potential research collaborations! Some exciting things to come 😁

[Christina Maxwell (she/her) @ChristinaMMax]

@JL_Piemonte @SPSSI @BoglarkaNyul @KahalonRotem Really enjoyed listening to all the contributions in this symposium! Great discussion too!

[Christina Maxwell (she/her) @ChristinaMMax]

@sadika_bidushy @SPSSI I missed your poster this morning but I’d love to connect sometime during the conference to hear more about your work 😊 I have personal experience of being part of a dehumanised group during COVID so I’d be really interested to hear what you found!

[Christina Maxwell (she/her) @ChristinaMMax]

@isenbergn Thanks for the follow, Naomi! I missed your poster but it looks fascinating - I’m also working in the area of social norms and pluralistic ignorance so I’d love to touch base with you during the SPSSI con! 😁

[Christina Maxwell (she/her) @ChristinaMMax]

Thanks to all who came out to listen to and engage with my presentation at #SPSSICON22 this morning! And thank you to all who made me feel welcome & offer to take these photos of me as I’m representing @UQPsych and @SIGNetworkUQ solo!
