Alongside my research agenda, I’m keen to promote good research practice, including interdisciplinarity, open science, and research and professional integrity; good research practice also involves promoting equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in research and academia. Many current projects are available on OSF.

With the aim of promoting rigour and interdisciplinarity in the evolutionary human sciences, I co-founded the European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association in 2008. EHBEA is a society which aims to encourage rigorous science, with strong theoretical foundations and integration across disciplines. EHBEA conferences are committed to presenting a broad, pluralistic and interdisciplinary perspective. I’ve served as EHBEA’s Vice President, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion champion and President.

I have also taken several other roles in academic societies and journals, through which I hope to further these aims: Honorary Secretary of the British Society for Population Studies and Board Member of the Centre for Ecology & Evolution; on the Editorial Boards of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, Series B, Advances in Life Course Research, Evolution & Human Behavior, Evolutionary Human Sciences, PeerJ; on the Board of Reviewing Editors for Science; on the Editorial Advisory Board of Human Nature.
