Dr. w88 casino games login’s research focuses on cultural psychology, political psychology, interaction and social cognition, and intergroup relations. He is an expert on advanced statistical methods.

Other publications concern the cultural dynamics of populism; the shrinkingpersonality differences between liberals and conservatives; cultural factors in gender violence; and attribution of responsibility in accidents involving autonomous vehicles. Dr. w88 casino games login’s ongoing research projects examine how individuals think about race and skin tone in the context of autonomous vehicles; the regional distributions of honor beliefs across the U.S. and Brazil; the impact of implications of ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity on the development of attitudes toward voting and democratic debate.

He has chaired 15 doctoral theses, 4 master’s theses, and has served on 69 doctoral committees and 10 master’s theses across 10 different Ph.D. programs and 9 master’s programs inthe College of Liberal Arts, the College of Science, College of Education, College of Business, the w88 casino games login of Medicine, and the Reynolds w88 casino games login of Journalism.
Even before becoming the Graduate Dean, in over two decades at the University of Nevada, Reno, Dr. Kemmelmeier has gained ample experience in the University community, having served on more than 25 department-, college- and university-wide committees, including as Chair of the University Technology Council. As the director of an interdisciplinary graduate program under the Graduate w88 casino games login, he routinely interacted with faculty members and administrators across campus. Then and now, he works to foster connections and collaborative relationships across disciplines, prioritizes student success and well-being, and identifies opportunities for funding and professional advancement for graduate students.
