I study social norms: what different societies choose to regulate, who ensures those rules are followed, and how that varies across cultures. My work combines large-scale cross-cultural surveys, natural language processing, archival data, and laboratory experiments.
I am currently applying for postdoctoral positions, but I’m also happy to discuss industry roles anytime.
