Academic interests
I am interested in the intersecting research areas between social, developmental, political, and evolutionary psychology. I conduct experimental research on infants and preschoolers, asking which basic social concepts they possess and how they make use of this conceptual knowledge when navigating the social world. My research focuses on children’s and infants’ notions of social dominance, resource conflict and ownership, and how these emerging social concepts may inform our understanding of political attitudes and behavior among adults. My PhD project is a part of the ERC-funded project COORDINATE (PI: prof. Lotte Thomsen).
