Rory Smead

Graduate Student in Logic & Philosophy of Science


Research Interests

My primary area of interest is evolutionary game theory and the naturalistic study of social norms.  I am currently working on evolution of social norms in finite population settings as well as the evolution of indirect reciprocity.  I have also done work on the evolution of cooperation in spatial settings.  Outside of this area, I have interests in the philosophy of science, philosophy of biology, philosophy of logic, and the modern empiricists (especially Hume).
