About
Jonathan cut his teeth working on factors underlying perceptions of facial attractiveness and, separately, the relationship between religiosity and humor appreciation. Upon completing these undergraduate research projects and a BSc(Hons) at the University of Otago in 2007, he proceeded to do a PhD. on the relationship between death-anxiety and implicit and explicit religious belief. Jonathan has since moved to Oxford, to work on an ESRC Large Grant, entitled Ritual, Community, and Conflict.
Jonathan maintains active research programmes in Cognitive Science of Religion and Terror Management Theory, and on the implications of science and philosophy of science for religious belief. He is also an online editor at the Nonreligion and Secularity Research Network (http://nsrn.net/) and a section editor for its journal Secularism & Nonreligion, as well as an associate at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion (http://www.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk/faraday/).
