Research Interests
My areas of interest include legal theory, legal reasoning, the relationship between law and morality, and public perceptions of law. I am interested in inter-disciplinary and empirical approaches to the study of law.
My current research project explores moral and legal decision making, analysing relevant work from both legal theorists and findings from moral cognition studies in psychology. I will use empirical research methods and take an inter-disciplinary approach. My PhD is funded by the College of Social Sciences.
