Excited to share our new research! We investigated how social class shapes attitudes toward philanthropy and found that individuals from higher social classes view charitable giving more favourably and view it as a solution to societal issues. Jolanda onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…





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 Dr Hema Preya Selvanathan!
