This page is out of date now though I will keep it up till 2018 - please go to my lab web page which is socialchangelab.net.

This page has been provided to allow access to my online teaching resources, as well as to complement my official work page at the School of Psych at UQ.

If you're interested in my academic papers just drop me an e-mail and I'll send some over. Many of my papers can be found online in UQ's e-space (link to papers online at UQ : May require login) and at ResearchGate (link to papers online at ResearchGate/Google Scholar).

I am happy to talk to commmunity groups or media and invite inquiries on this topic at w.louis@psy.uq.edu.au .

Biographies suitable for speakers' presentations are online here.

I used to try to summarise my old studies in writing; I've run out of time to do this as my lab and career have developed, but I'm still very committed to public outreach and I'm happy to receive emails at w.louis@psy.uq.edu.au to inquire about my work.

If you are interested in working with me, please drop me an email at w.louis@psy.uq.edu.au after you've looked at my official work page at the School of Psych at UQ, and in particular, closely read the section on supervision. I am a committed and award-winning mentor (see bios), and I like to work with students who are driven to change the world or passionately curious to understand it - either is fine, but one of these is vital :).
