The Centre for Applied Cross-cultural Research responds to the challenges of globalisation, migration, and growing cultural diversity through sound theory and research.
We are part of the School of Psychology at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, which offers postgraduate degrees in cross-cultural psychology. Our members are leading New Zealand diversity researchers, and we maintain close ties to international researchers at the highest levels.
