Postdoctoral Researcher at CEPDISC, Aarhus University

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination (CEPDISC), Department of Political Science, Aarhus University. My work is dedicated to better understanding how people navigate threats and opportunities posed by social living.
