Dr Christine Cuskley
Affiliate, Psychology
BioI am working with Stanford as a product manager with the LEVANTE Project (https://levante-network.org/), through CogKnit Labs (https://cogknit.uk). I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh, where I was jointly supervised between Psychology and Linguistics. I collaborate with linguists, psychologists, and complex systems scientists to study the evolution of social systems, cognition, and culture, with a particular focus on language and communication. My methodological expertise lies in computatoinal agent-based modelling, large-scale historical corpora, and web-based behavioural experiments (especially including gamification and "multi-player" approaches).

At Stanford, she is also affiliated with the Center for American Democracy; Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity; and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
