of Luxembourg

In summer 2013, Kevin Carriere, majoring in Psychology, received support from The Henry J. and Erna D. Leir Luxembourg Program, The LEEP Center and The University of Luxembourg to work as a Research Intern for the Integrative Research Unit on Social and Individual Development at the University of Luxembourg, with researchers coming from both Luxembourg and Amsterdam. The Unit's project attempts to help make the transition to assisted residential living less stressful, by examining both internal factors, such as using technology to ameliorate loneliness, and external factors, such as national identities and their influence on establishing relationships. Kevin's training in semiotics, sign-systems, and cultural processes complemented the Unit's mainstream, experimental social psychological viewpoints. As part of his work, he wrote four papers, one of which treated thetheoretical importance of loneliness and technology's role as a mediating device within it.

Kevin participated in The May Term Program 2012. While allowing him to further define his area of expertise, this research also provided him with the opportunity to deepen his experience in Luxembourg.
