I am a social psychologist, interested in why and how morality binds people together, but also blinds them into ‘‘us’’ vs. ‘‘them.’’ I am currently examining the psychological and evolutionary processes that underlie cultural change and development of institutions using a collection of methodological approaches, including social psychological experiments, survey-based assessment, computational modeling, and historical text analysis.
