Post-Doc at UC Davis working on the cultural evolution of collective rituals, bad at lists, a third thing.

Some of the mud that got to sit up and look around.

Many explanations of the link between uncertainty and rituals appeal to a need for a sense of agency. Ours is less grand: more variable environments are likely to produce illusory correlations. If there is a framework that can stabilize those early correlations, a ritual can be born!

But we don't think there is divine intercession. More variable environments are more likely to produce extraordinary, positive outcomes. The SHG can capitalize on these illusory correlations and a ritual can start.

Couldn't agree more! I think the fact that you share similar professional timelines, and that you are discovering who you are as researchers, makes this kind of collaboration particularly fruitful. The practical implication is that whatever research you produce is much much better as a result!

When I got into grad school, the impulse was to collaborate with the names that drew me there. From day one, @stephenvaisey.com insisted on horizontal collaboration instead. I have no idea if that was good professional advice, but it was pretty solid life advice.

I use a wide range of methods -- from ABMs to longitudinal analysis -- to examine how attitudes change or stay the same, and how those individual processes scale up to patterns of social change.
