Welcome to my university page with links and downloadable files!
I am a Professor of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame who focuses on moral development and flourishing from an interdisciplinary perspective. I am especially interested in how early life experience and societal culture interact to influence wellbeing and virtuous character in children and adults.
I integrate neurobiological, clinical, developmental and education sciences in my theories, research and writing about moral development, parenting and education. I have identified the evolved nest as critical for moral formation, triune-ethics meta-theory (TEM) as a framework for how moral mindsets can shift or become dispositional from experience, integrative ethical education (via RAVES: relationship, apprenticeship, virtue exemplars, ethical expertise, self-authorship), and indigenous wisdom for fostering optimal moral functioning (relational attunement and communal imagination).
