Philipp Jugert

Philipp Jugert is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Duisburg-Essen, a position held since 2018. Jugert completed a Diplom at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt Universität Greifswald in 2004, an MSc at the University of Auckland in 2006, and a PhD at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena in 2009, followed by postdoctoral work at Jena before taking up an assistant professorship at Universität Leipzig from 2011 to 2018. Jugert's research addresses acculturation, immigrant youth development, ethnic-racial identity, intergroup relations in school contexts, and European identity formation across adolescence. Much of this work takes a longitudinal and developmental approach, examining how acculturative change unfolds over time and how school environments shape the adjustment and social experiences of both immigrant and non-immigrant youth.
