Samantha Stanley’s research applies social psychological theory and research to societal challenges. She is particularly interested in attitudes towards climate change and its possible solutions. She has several projects underway on responses to proposed pro-climate policies, attitudes towards the potential intake of climate refugees, and reactions to climate change messaging campaigns. Before joining the ANU mid-2020, Samantha was an Assistant Professor at the University of Canberra (from late-2018), and she received her PhD from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (mid-2019).
