Jeremy GingesPhD 2004, Tel Aviv University
Assistant Professor of Psychology (on leave spring 2010)
Profile:My research explores the psychological dimension of cultural and political conflicts. I study (a) how people manage to cooperate with members of different ethnic, national or religious groups and (b) why cooperation breaks down into violent conflict. A secondary research interest concerns the psycho-social consequences of exposure to political violence.
