As part of her masters research project, Michelle Cruickshank will be exploring how far imagined contact with different ethnic groups can lead to changes in ethnic group attitudes and streotyping. We will also explore whether learning about other cultures by taking part in normal classroom activities (lessons) is enhanced by culture-specific physical activities such as learning a dance style from a different cultural group. Data collection is expected to begin in March 2011.
