A huge thank you to our teachers @spyasin.bsky.social, @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social & @kellykirkland.bsky.social, organisers Filip Boen & @radhikabutalia.bsky.social, & fellow participants.
I am so grateful for the insights, friendships & (potential!) collaborations that I've gained from #SISS2025💞
I had SUCH an incredibly enriching and inspiring week at the 2025 Social Identity Summer School at KU Leuven.
In the #Politics stream, we took a deep dive into #SocialIdentityTheory, its premises and applications.
These conversations will doubtlessly be integral to my #PhD research.
