I'm Azim Sharif. I am the Canada 150
chair of Moral Psychology, which looks at
the origins, explanations and mechanisms that underlie how humans judge what's
right and wrong, and I look at that in a
sort of applied setting. I look at that -
the intersection between moral
psychology and various areas of social
importance, things like religion or
climate change or the economy or
technology. One of the limitations that
we've had in the field has been a narrow
focus, with an attempt to generalize to a
large body of people. So one of the
things that the the funds that are
associated with the chairship allows is
to actually to broader research, where you get research on a much larger and more
diverse group of people so you can
generalize to well the whole planet
