Research summary

Taylor Davis studies how moral judgments, religious beliefs, and cultural norms form and change over time, drawing on ideas from cultural evolution theory and moral psychology. Much of this work examines why people hold the moral and religious views they do, and how shared values shift in response to social and environmental pressures such as sustainability challenges. The research combines philosophical analysis with empirical psychology and touches on applied topics like sustainable behavior and socio-environmental systems.
