Biographical details

Fiona White graduated with a PhD from the University of Sydney in 1997. She is an international expert in developing effective strategies to promote cooperative intergroup relations. Fiona has lead a number of prejudice reduction projects involving contact and recategorization strategies, and has received competitive funding from the Australian Research Council, Office of Learning and Teaching and ViCHealth. Fiona is a Professor in Social Psychology, Director of The Sydney University Psychology of Intergroup Relations (SUPIR) Research Lab, and holds the position of Associate Dean of the Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLAS) in the Faculty of Science.

Across her career, Fiona has published over 80 papers in peer-reviewed publications with over 1000 citations (Google Scholar) and 90 conference presentations. She has supervised two post-docs, 10 postgraduates and over 60 honours students to completion.

Fiona has also been lead author on four editions of a developmental psychology textbook (White, Hayes & Livesey, 2005; 2010; 2013; 2015) that has had substantial national impact with over 20,000 copies sold. Prof. White also maintains a research active role in the scholarship of teaching having been awarded six highly competitive research-teaching grants (> $500K). In recognition of the quality embodied by her contribution to the research scholarship of learning and teaching Fiona was the successful co-recipient (with Dr Caleb Owens) of the 2012 Vice Chancellor’s Excellence in Teaching Award and the 2013 OLT Teaching Citation Award for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning.

Research interests

My reserah interests involve i) the development of new measures of prejudice and stigma, ii) identifying the sources of prejudice and stigma, and iii) developing strategies to reduce prejudice and stigma: My original contributions to the discipline of social psychology include the following:

i) Long-term prejudice reduction: I am driven by my social inclusion philosophy to develop new and effective strategies to reduce prejudice. My ARC-funded Dual Identity Electronic-Contact (DIEC) study (2009-11) was ground breaking in terms of showing that cognitive strategies, such as dual identity recatorgisation, provide the mechanism by which social strategies such as E-contact promote sustained intergroup harmony between Muslim and Catholic students at a 1-year follow-up. These findings have been published in five internationally peer-reviewed journals.

ii) The Continuum of Contact: My DIEC research laid the groundwork for a new and effective intergroup contact strategy - virtual E-contact. Here non-Muslim participants synchronously type text to a Muslim student in a cooperative way where a common goal is achieved. Preliminary data reveals that the E-contact group reports lower prejudice compared to the control group. In collaboration with Prof. Turner (Queen’s University, Belfast) an international expert in imagined contact, we are testing the combination of our two unique contact strategies to discover the continuum of contact. We aim to uncover whether it is the sequencing or amount of imagined or E-contact that is essential for successful prejudice reduction.

iii) Teachers’ ethnic-racial socialization practices: With my colleagues from Deakin University and ANU (Profs. Paradies and Priest), we were the first to report that teacher confidence and capability influenced the types of egalitarian messages used about diversity, and the extent to which teachers had explicit and critical discussions about racism in their classroom. Results also revealed that primary schools would benefit from auditing their current teaching practice to address racism, promote intercultural understanding and develop positive attitudes to diversity. These findings have been published in five internationally peer-reviewed journals.

My other research interest includes the scholarship of learning and teahcing. In collaboration with my colleague, Dr Caleb Owens, we have successfully used TIES funding to address increases in student plagiarism by implementing and evaluating the Constructive Feedback and Plagiarism Reduction (CFPR) program. The CFPR program, integrated similarity detection software, writing tutorials, peer/tutor feedback, and online master quizzes to create a sustained and systematic reduction in the number of plagiarism cases amongst Psyc1001 and Psyc1002 amongst a Total N = 14,338. Importantly, the most significant reduction in plagiarism cases occurred between the ‘no education (a deterrent-only) strategy’ and when a writing exercise with feedback was introduced in the following year. Importantly, the CFPR program produced a sustained 7-year reduction in Psychology students’ plagiarism rates.

In recognition of our innovative CFPR program, we were awarded the Vice Chancellor's Teaching Excellence Award for Support of the Student Experience in 2012 ($10K), and an Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) Citations Award for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning in 2013 ($10K).

I was one of only four academic staff at the University of Sydney to be awarded a place on the 2016 Chief Executive Women Leaders Program.

The program commenced on 10 March and will provide opportunities for the cohort to hear from a range of leaders from both the corporate and public sectors throughout the year.

“This program offers a unique opportunity to network with women leaders from a wide range of organisations to share ideas about promoting effective leadership, including authenticity, transparency and trust, in our respective workplaces,” Professor Fiona White said. “Despite our diverse backgrounds, many of the women recognised our common leadership goals and aspirations.”

The program aims to inspire women to take on more senior leadership roles, and enhance their career and personal growth opportunities
