Curriculum:
I am a Frontières du Vivant doctoral (ED 474) PhD D student working under the joint supervision of Jean Baratgin (University Paris 8, head of PARIS Reasoning) and Brent Strickland (Institut Jean Nicod, CNRS). I conduct psychology experiments and develop evolutionary theory to investigate the ultimate functions and proximate nuts and bolts of human tribalism (e.g. ideological polarization, extremism, ‘self-sacrifice’) and ‘moral rigidity’ (folk deontologism, sacralization processes, folk moral objectivism).
Area of interest:
- ideological polarization, transmission of political beliefs online
- extremism, ‘self-sacrifice’
- folk deontologism, sacralization processes
- folk moral objectivism
