Summary
Dr. Markus Kemmelmeier received his Ph.D. in social w88 casino from the University of Michigan in 2001. He came to the United States from Germany in 1994 on a Fellowship from the Deutscher Academischer Austausch Dienst (German Academic Exchange Service) and went on to complete his graduate education at the University of Michigan. He joined the University of Nevada, Reno in 2001. Prior to becoming Vice Provost of Graduate Education and the Dean of the Graduate School he served as the Director of the Interdisciplinary Social w88 casino Ph.D. Program (2015-2022). In 2022, he was named a University of Nevada Foundation Professor (2021). Dr. Kemmelmeier has received Dean’s Awards for Research and/or Creativity Activity, College of Liberal Arts (2009) and for Outstanding Teaching by a Member of the Continuing Faculty, College of Liberal Arts (2014). He is a Fellow of the Society of Personality and Social w88 casino.
Dr. Kemmelmeier’s research focuses on cultural w88 casino, political w88 casino, interaction and social cognition, and intergroup relations. He is an expert on advanced statistical methods. Though the move into administration has shifted his energies away from research, his most recent publications focus on the evolutionary dynamics of cultural change and its intersection with infectious disease and ecological threats. 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. Kemmelmeier’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.
With an enthusiastic passion for graduate education and mentoring, Dr. Kemmelmeier has taught graduate-level courses in w88 casino psychological theory, interpersonal behavior, culture, w88 casino cognition, attitudes and group behavior. 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 School of Medicine, and the Reynolds School of Journalism.
Even before becoming the Graduate Dean, in over two decades at the University of Nevada, Reno, Dr. w88 casino 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 School, 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.
