Current Research Interests/Projects: |
|
I am interested in applying the theory of human identity needs to better understanding social and cultural violence, as well as using the anthropological theories of Rene Girard in understanding human mimesis, as well as the use of the scapegoat mechanism that Girard explicated, which uses sacred violence as a means towards bringing about social harmony.
