​​​​​​The DEMLab conducts research with the goal to promote social equity and prevent the formation of social biases during childhood. We focus broadly on moral and social development by looking at three interrelated areas: developing conceptions of equity and fairness, preempting social biases, and developing mechanisms and psychological processes.

My primary research interest focuses on moral development and how we can promote moral development in early childhood. I am currently working on creating a study that examines whether explanations for a novel rule impact children’s inferences about the seriousness of the rule.
