About
I am interested in the political psychology of inequality, intergroup relations, and conflict.
As a Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School/NSF Program in Inequality and Social Policy, I am applying interdisciplinary experimental methods to the study of decision-making and self regulation in times of scarcity, low status, and inequality. I have just completed a set of studies on how power and powerlessness are experienced vicariously through shared group membership, using lab and survey-based methods.
In 2010-11 I was a Lab Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, where I led a project on the social psychology of whistleblowing in the context of institutional corruption.
I graduated with a BA in Psychology and Philosophy from Trinity College Dublin and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics and Political Science, after which I worked for two and a half years with the UK Ministry of Defence, finishing in the post of Senior Strategic Analyst.
