I am delighted to announce that my project entitled YourMorals - The role of social presence on moral decision-making: realistic settings for the understanding of utilitarian and deontological preferences has been accepted for a 2-year funding Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship with excellent evaluation.

This research project emerged a few years ago while I was working on the impact of emotions on moral dilemmas with Yousri Marzouki and Olivier Oullier. Since then, I never stopped thinking that psychologists should consider social context a bit more to get a better picture of the processes associated with moral decision-making - because yes, moral choices are rarely made out of the social arena. Beyond any doubt, this project is the cornerstone of a larger program of research I expect to establish in the next years.

I am so grateful to start this position in one of the top-ranking universities in Europe, alongside an incredible supevisor, Prof. Emilie Caspar. More about my project is coming on this page. So let’s keep in touch !

A month ago, the team and I were happy to welcome Rozelin Vurgun for her internship in the Moral and Social Brain lab! Rozelin is doing her Master at Kadir Has University (Turkey) and is currently doing an Erasmus internship as part of her training. In our lab, she is using EEG to measure moral conflict under social presence (so much time spent in the UGent basement :’) and in parallel is preparing a new study on surveillance effects (stay tuned for the results!).

PS. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are interested in an internship in our team :)

A few days ago, my friend Yulong Huang, PhD at UGent came to me with this idea: What if we organised a scientific and social event in our department to share thoughts, results and ideas about research in social cognition ? 1, 2, 3, on Monday the invitation letter was sent to the department!
