Stéphanie Demoulin

Stéphanie Demoulin earned her masters degree in psychology at Free University of Brussels (Thesis: Emotions et sentiments: Différences et participation dans le processus de discrimination de l'exogroupe) and her Ph.D. in Psychology, under the supervision of Jacques-Philippe Leyens, in psychology at Catholic University of Louvain (Thesis: Infra-humanization: Using Uniquely Human Emotions to Discriminate Outgroups). In 2003 she became a post-doctoral student at Friedrich-Schieller Universität, Jena, and since then she has published on a variety of topics related to prejudice, intergroup relations, and infra-humanization. In 2006, she has been appointed assistant professor at the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. In her current research she attempts to investigate intergroup negotiations from a social-psychological perspective.
