Susanne Veit’s dissertation with the title “Ethnic Diversity and Cooperation: Contexts, Linking Mechanisms, and Causality” addresses the heated scientific debate about the potential challenges of cultural diversity to social cohesion and civic engagement. The empirical studies this dissertation draws on were realized within the framework of the project “Ethnische Vielfalt, soziales Vertrauen und Zivilengagement” (project head: Ruud Koopmans, funding: Germany Family Ministry). Susane Veit successfully defended her dissertation in the end of 2014 (summa cum laude). In July 2015, the dissertation was honored by the International Society of Political Psychology (ISPP) by a Best Dissertation Award Honorable Mention.
