With the increasing ethnic diversity in school classrooms globally, understanding how best to harness intergroup contact and promote social cohesion is a timely challenge for science, policy, and practice alike. There is an urgent need, therefore, for applied social psychological research that bridges theory and practice in the pursuit of peace. The present paper reflects on the process of working with teachers in ethnically diverse secondary schools in England to co-produce an intervention that aimed to promote better intergroup relations amongst 11-year-old school students. Through a series of workshops, we co-created a theoretically informed intervention that was then implemented and evaluated in schools. In this paper we discuss our approach to the development of our intervention. We then conduct a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis of our research process and approach to co-production and offer recommendations for researchers aiming to carry out applied research in the pursuit of peace. The appropriateness of social psychological frameworks for promoting intergroup relations and in turn, peace in real-world contexts and implications for future research and practice are discussed. |
