Dehumanization
I've been developing a psychological model of dehumanization. According to my model, dehumanization comes in two main varieties: descriptive dehumanization and normative dehumanization. I explain and test the basic model here. I've also extended my initial findings in a new paper, which you can read here.
Consciousness and the Self
I've just started a new project that addresses the relation between consciousness and selfhood. I'm really interested in the idea that integration is central to both of these phenomena.
Mindreading/Theory of mind
I'm especially interested in the distinction between introspection and third-person mindreading, and whether there are differences in how these two abilities develop. In exploring this issue, I'm currently running a series of studies with Bill Fabricius and Anne Kupfer.
