Profile:

Currently, I am interested in how intersexual competition is realized in cross-sex hatred and distrust. More specifically I am interested in investigating involuntary celibate men (i.e. incels) and the pipeline to extreme hate ideology in human society. I’m also interested in studying the parallel hatred expressed by women and parsing out how these ideologies are similar and different. Broadly, I am interested in applying evolutionary theories to these phenomena and utilizing biological and anthropological theory to inform my research.
