A warm welcome
Our visiting researcher Dr. Jessica Wilke
We’re really happy to welcome Dr. Jessica Wilke from Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, Germany, to our lab! Jessica’s background is in special education and psychology, and during her PhD she explored moral development in children. In her PostDoc work, she’s now focusing on how moral-democratic identities and (anti-)democratic attitudes develop in youth and young adults. This fall semester (2025), she’s also teaching “Testtheorie und Testkonstruktion.”
We’re excited to have her on board — her expertise is a great addition to our team, and we’re looking forward to inspiring exchanges, learning from each other, and working together on our shared research interests in forensic psychology.
We suggest the following nice-to-read articles:
