Moral Psychology

Hi there,

I have now moved to Cornell University where I am completing my PhD in Moral Psychology. I work with Prof. Jordan Wylie working to understand how people make moral judgments and decisions. 

Previously at Oxford I was a research assistant at the Neuroscience Ethics and Society Group, working on the BRC  Flourishing and Wellbeing Theme. Before that I worked at the Oxford Precision Psychiatry Lab, working on the Wellcome funded GALENOS project conducting living systematic reviews into mental health.

I completed my undergraduate research in psychology at Cardiff University followed by a Master's degree in Neuroscience at Oxford University. 

Alongside my continued interest in mental health, I have a strong interest in philosophy and moral decision-making. I enjoy applying interdisciplinary approaches to ask not just what works in mental health, but what are the underlying assumptions and concepts this builds on, and the ethics behind these. 

If you have any questions about my current research or past groups I have been involved with please get in contact. 

The best place to reach me is ca567@cornell.edu
