Ph.D. Students
Scott Danielson is a third year Ph.D. student interested in how people form moral judgments and why people disagree about right and wrong. Scott earned his B.S. in neuroscience and behavioral biology, and philosophy from Emory University and his M.A. in social science (psychology) from the University of Chicago. Aside from research, Scott is interested in interactive fiction: how things like video games and Dungeons and Dragons can challenge us to think differently.
Natasha Doré is a third year PhD student interested in censorship, moral impression formation and conflict resolution. She earned her MA and MRes in Psychology from the University of Aberdeen, in Scotland. When she's not studying, Natasha can be found getting herself tangled in aerial silks - perhaps she should rethink her back up plan to run away to the circus!
Masters Students
Stephen Rowe is an MSc student (psychology) interested in the philosophy of psychiatry and how the study of how we make moral judgments can inform the debate about what ought to be considered right or wrong. Stephen earned his B.A in Philosophy and Psychology and B.A (Hons) Psychology from the University of Canterbury and also enjoys playing football and spending time with animals.
Anneliese Westerman is a Masters student interested in how disgust influences sexual behaviour. She earned her BA(Hons) in Psychology from the University of Canterbury. Outside of science, she likes to spend time at her grandparents' old bach in Wainui, or yarn about anything weird and interesting.
