Biography
I study the ways in which stories motivate human behaviour. My theoretical focus is on value instantiation - the process through which universal evolutionarily-defined motivations get expressed in everyday behaviours. My applied work includes research on terrorism, health behaviour, electoral politics, climate and anti-war activism using traditional, and computational social science methods.
