Personal profile
Research interests
I am Professor in Community Wellbeing in the Department of Social Work, Education and Community Wellbeing and a researcher in the Evolution and Social Cognition team at the Institut Jean Nicod, Paris.
I study a number of different topics relating to behaviour, cognition, society and health. My current research projects are in one or more of the following areas:
- Economic and social inequality
- Trust, cooperation and antisocial behaviour
- Adversity and aging
- Hunger and food insecurity
- Moral and political cognition
My work spans the biological and social sciences. I am also interested more broadly in explanations in the behavioural sciences; in interdisciplinary synthesis; and in open science. Recently I have begun to explore how my work might apply to and support public policy.
In addition to my PURE record, you can download all of my research papers in some form via my website, even if it is not the publisher’s formatted version. You can also find information on the various books I have written and access an introductory R and statistics course I wrote.
I also write a blog on science, and society.
