Hello! I am a PhD candidate at Northwestern Kellogg, my work focuses on moral psychology, charitable giving, and charitable receiving. I investigate (i) the process of moralization, (ii) the impediments and antecedents to effective, long-term prosociality, and (iii) recipients psychological experiences when receiving aid. https://sites.northwestern.edu/samanthakassirer/

Great post, thanks for sharing! I think you might find Igor Grossmann’s work on the psychology of wisdom particularly interesting (https://igorgrossmann.com/projects/wisdom/), if you haven’t already been exposed to it :)
Very exciting! Is this funding specifically targeting the development of new organizations or would this also fund new academic research on this topic (e.g., antecedents and impediments to the shifting of moral values across cultures; the psychological process of moralization (as applied to EA-relevant ideas and values); barriers to longtermism thinking and interventions amongst laypeople, organizational leaders, and policymakers; etc.)?
