I have also worked in the fields of ethics, religion and metaphysics. My current research interests include: vegan, vegetarian and semi-vegetarian lifestyles, intergroup dynamics, personality types, values and attitudes, wellbeing, sentience and free will. I am also interested in professional wellbeing and the wellbeing of students in professional placement/work experience.
