I am interested in the evolution of social interactions. This has led me into empirical research on a range of social evolution questions in organisms as diverse as parasitic wasps to humans. Recently I have been using approaches from behavioural economics to test the decisions and social preferences of people faced with real and costly economic decisions. My current work has the dual aims of (1) elucidating the mechanisms that foster cooperation between non-relatives and (2) improving the field’s understanding and interpretation of such data.
