简介

Classical political theory and psychoanalytic approaches to politics are my first loves. If pressed to describe what I do in a couple of words, I would call it by the old fashioned name of moral psychology. I'm interested in the psychological roots of morality, but I'm very careful not to reduce morality to psychology, or to imagine that psychology can form the basis of morality. Research in this area has also led me to investigate issues within the realm of international human rights. I am especially interested in the experience of trauma, particularly the way trauma becomes embedded in nations, societies, and groups, especially out-groups. Please see my blog:
