| In November 2006, Prof. Dr. Phalet accepted a position as full professor of intercultural studies at the social psychology section (LESP) of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Leuven. To ensure continuity and to facilitate inter-university collaboration, her affiliation to the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at Utrecht University as a permanent senior research fellow of Ercomer has been continued.
Her comparative work broadly concerns two substantive research lines: one is based on comparative survey research about group processes, cultural values and political opinions in plural societies (projects in Belgium, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe), the other consists of migration and minorities studies on intergenerational transmission and acculturation in migrant families, and on educational investment and attainment of migrant youth in multi-ethnic schools (projects in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany).
She is also an Associate Editor of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, and a member of the editorial boards of Migrantenstudies (Journal of Migration and Ethnic Relations) and the Spinhuis book series MES (Migration and Ethnic Studies).
