Any environmental psychologists who have a place identity, place attachment perspective to add?
Anyone out there involved in psychological research and / or practice around homesickness/ identity / integration etc for international students? We have a submission that I think is really interesting from the personal perspective, but which could perhaps do with links to any professional activity.
