I am a member of the Society for the Psychology of Human-Animal Intergroup Relations, or PHAIR Society.

I work at Lancaster University in the UK, as a Senior Lecturer in the Psychology Department. Here's my departmental webpage.

My research focuses mainly on issues in moral psychology, such as:

how we consider the value of animal lives and treat animals
folk beliefs about moral wrongdoing and how we evaluate the moral character of others
the relationship between emotions and moral judgment
how religious beliefs shape the moral decisions we make
promoting ethical and sustainable eating practices
