The Newcastle specialized meeting on social cohesion hosted by UON Psychology in 2019, led by Stefania Paolini and an army of motivated and enthusiastic volunteers, showcased the best research on the dynamics of intergroup contact and social integration that is currently available on the international stage. It offered 70+ senior and junior researchers a forum to discuss data from a variety of research laboratories, methods, and societal settings over a three day period.
With so much goodness at hand, we wanted the legacy of the Australian meeting to live long and produce fruits beyond Newcastle. Hence, we have captured it in a video-library of conference presentations that is now accessible worldwide on YOUTUBE and via the conference website for wider community’s consumption and enjoyment. Thank you to all of those who contributed!
The library can be accessed this way:

We hope these resources will ignite fond memories of the Newcastle / Australian experience among those who attended the meeting and instigate a desire to visit us in the (post-COVID) future among all the others.
