About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Before arriving at UAB, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I worked with Professor H. Clark Barrett on the Geography of Philosophy Project. Prior to that, I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Connecticut, where I worked with Richard Sosis in the Evolution, Cognition and Culture Lab as well as Richard Wilson at the Human Rights Institute.
The central themes in my research are cooperation and conflict, which I explore by drawing from theories and methodologies in anthropology, cognitive science, human rights, and philosophy.
