Congratulations to Dr. Williamson, who has received a Fulbright Fellowship to Spain. She will spend the 2023/2024 academic year as a visiting scholar at the Universidad de Granada, where she will be hosted by Dr. Inmaculada Valor-Segura, Professor of Psychology. Dr. Williamson’s Fulbright project focuses on diversifying and globalizing the scientific study of close relationships. An important step toward studying the family relationships of people who have been historically underrepresented in research is to ensure that the field has the necessary tools to do. Dr. Williamson will work to validate Spanish-language versions of multiple commonly used self-report instruments to ensure that they are valid and reliable for use with Spanish-speakers in the U.S. and abroad. She will also conduct a novel study of the buffering effect of close relationships on the link between socioeconomic status and well-being in the United States and Spain, two countries with high levels of income inequality.
