CONGRATULATIONS TO DR PAUL BAIN ON SECURING A GRANT FROM THE ARC

In conjunction with Dr Nick Haslam (University of Melbourne) Dr Paul Bain has secured a $353,000 ARC Discovery grant over 4 years. The proposed research will contribute to an improved understanding of the subtle ways in which humanness is denied to members of some social groups. These processes contribute to intergroup antagonism and intolerance, and to a failure to take adequate moral account of other people's suffering. Understanding dehumanization can enhance our ability to recognize and overcome its manifestations in public life and the community. Scientifically, the proposed work will contribute to the nation's reputation as a world leader in the psychological study of intergroup relations. The School of Psychology would like to extend their congratulations to both Dr Bain and Dr Haslam.
