In regard to psychology, he is particularly interested in theories of personality and the relationship, if any, between personality and political ideology. He is currently at work on a book dealing with all of these matters, both as they concern research in the social sciences and public policy (as in e.g., personality testing in public schools, the “criminal gene†defense in civil law). Other interests include liberal political theory, ethics and constitutional law (particularly civil rights).
