Research
Sustainability, Cultural Evolution, Cooperation
I study social norms, institutions and societies evolve in response to social and ecological forces in order to help build durable, sustainable and just societies and institutions. I use evolutionary theory, behavioral experiments and agent-based modeling to explore these connections. My research highlights the importance of cooperation in fair and sustainable resource management. Therefore we need to understand the forces that guide human cooperation to achieve social-ecological systems resilience. I lead an international network of researchers and practitioners on the application of the evolutionary science of culture and cooperation to the study of social-ecological system sustainability. I also study how organizational evolution is influenced by the role of cooperation. More: timwaring.info.
