Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Michael_Prinzing@baylor.edu
Michael received his PhD in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2022. His research is about the good life: what it means to lead a good life, and how people think about fundamental issues concerning morality, happiness, and meaning; as well as more applied questions about how people can pursue these things in their own lives. His approach to these questions blurs traditional disciplinary boundaries, drawing on the methods from cognitive, social, and personality psychology as well as philosophy.
