Are you at #CDS2024 and interested in environmental conservation? Join me at Poster Session 2 to learn about my research on children's and adults' tendencies to attribute agency (life and mind) to natural elements when assessing harm to nature. See you there!

Hi Bluesky, excited to join! I study how children and adults understand the natural world and build a moral relationship with it. My latest publication explores whether humans are conceptualized as part of nature and its implications for environmental concern. Find it here: doi.org/10.1111/tops...
