Rivka T. Witenberg is a developmental and cognitive psychologist who has lectured in these areas at the University of Melbourne and Australian Catholic University. Her major research interest is in the development and conceptualisation of tolerance to human diversity, an area in which she has gained considerable expertise in the examination of thought processes and underlying beliefs about moral and socio-moral issues. Rivka has developed and presented a series of professional training seminars for the Department of Education and Training in Victoria for teachers based on the findings of her research into tolerance, and contributed to the Victorian State Government’s Racial and Religious Tolerance Legislation bill.
