Kelly Kirkland

I received my PhD from the University of Queensland, where I broadly explored cooperation, and how economic inequality affects our cooperative behaviours. In particular, I examined this in children and how these tendencies change as they age. I am now a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, exploring cooperation and morality in adults. I am particularly interested in the factors that stop us from working together for large-scale problems such as climate change, how morality differs across the world, and the psychological effects of living in unequal environments.
