INTERACT conversations #13: (Not) everyone welcome? Selective solidarity with refugees: insights from social psychology

22 January 2026, 12:00 – 14:00

Lecture by Dr. Tijana Karić 

Dr Tijana Karić is a research fellow at Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany. Her research broadly focuses on intergroup reconciliation, political attitudes, and intergroup relations. She specifically investigates how social identities, social representations, victim beliefs, and perceived threats shape reconciliation efforts and broader intergroup dynamics. Her work on political attitudes examines how social identity, marginalization, political inclusion, and threat perceptions influence geopolitical views, political solidarity, and societal belonging. Recently, she has engaged in studying social movements and prefigurative politics in repressive contexts. She's currently PI on two projects: Transformative effects of prefigurative politics in the context of the anti-corruption protests in Serbia and Social-psychological underpinnings of support for secession in contexts previously affected by secession conflict.
