Ilka Vari-Lavoisier is a researcher on the PLAN project,
led by Virginie Guiraudon (Sciences Po) and in collabo-

Oxford). As a research affiliate in the Department of
Anthropology and associate member of the Department
of Sociology at Oxford, she investigates the cognition
and migration nexus, with a focus on social remittances
and forecasting.
Susan T Fiske is Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology
and a professor of public affairs at Princeton University.
Fiske, who is an AAPSS Fellow, wrote the field-
founding Social Cognition (with Shelley E. Taylor,
\ddison-Wesley Publishing 1984), winner of the 2020
BBVA Frontiers of Science Award. Her stereotype
content model focuses on groups' perceived warmth
and competence predicting distinct discrimination.
