About Fiona

Professor Fiona White is a distinguished social psychologist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Sydney, where she obtained her PhD in 1997. Her early academic work includes a publication from the University of Newcastle in 1997, 'The Revised Moral Authority Scale (MAS-R)', indicating an early career association with that institution. White's research focuses on prejudice reduction, intergroup contact, and stigma mitigation through innovative interventions like electronic contact (E-contact), a computer-mediated synchronous text chat that promotes positive intergroup relations by reducing anxiety and bias. She directs the Sydney University Psychology of Intergroup Relations (SUPIR) Lab, coordinates the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science degree, and has led Australian Research Council-funded projects, including a Discovery Grant (2009–2011).
