Vitoroulis, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in Developmental Psychology at the University of Ottawa. Her program of research focuses on how social processes affect the well-being and psychosocial integration of youth from immigrant, refugee, ethno-cultural and racialized backgrounds. Specifically, her research examines the role of ethno-cultural background and immigrant status in the prevalence of peer victimization between groups, and the extent to which factors embedded within different contexts (i.e., school, family, community, peer group) are associated with social outcomes and mental health.
