Biography
I am a professor at the International University of La Rioja (UNIR). I teach in the Master of Intercultural and Inclusive Education. My research experience has focused on the use of denigrating humour (social, sexist, political) and its impact on group dynamics, as well as the role of morality in the formation of stereotypes. I have recently started to analyze the processes that facilitate inclusive and intercultural education.
Main interests
- Use of humor, its effects on stereotypes and intergroup relationships.
- Analysis of the relationship between moral bases and intergroup prejudice.
- Approaches to research and intervention of inclusive education, cultural and ethnic diversity.
- The role of psychological flexibility and artistic expressions on stress and quality of life.
