I am a social psychologist who studies moral cognition, political attitudes and ideology, and judgment and decision making more broadly. I am a lecturer (assistant professor) in marketing at the Leeds University Business School at the University of Leeds. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, working with Maryam Kouchaki. I completed my Ph.D. in psychology at Cornell University, primarily working with David Pizarro.
Much of my work examines how people, as social beings, attempt to navigate and predict their world while keeping in mind their moral and political attitudes. Morality and politics shape how we think about each other, influencing everything from questions of trust and cooperation to business decisions regarding hiring and firing. Understanding these influences can thus inform a broad array of real-world behaviors. I take a multi-method approach to answering these questions, employing experimental, developmental, and field methods and designs. I also draw inspiration from a variety of fields, including psychology, organizational behavior, political science, philosophy, and communications.
