Jordan Theriault

Boston Area Moral Cognition Group
(BAM)

I co-organized, with Justin Martin, the Boston Area Moral Cognition Group (BAM). The group hosted talks from over 100 speakers in moral and social psychology. BAM was initially founded by Josh Rottman, and Justin and I hosted it from 2015 to Fall 2018. We were happy to hand the reins over to Indrajeet Patil, and Sydney Levine.

BAM was a regular forum for researchers in Boston and the surrounding areas to share work on moral psychology. Boston has a considerable number of researchers studying morality, so we had no trouble finding interested speakers. The meetings were a valuable source for collaborations and feedback. The format was typically two 45-minute talks, once per month. Research assistants, graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, faculty members, and interested members of the community were welcome to attend.

As of Spring 2018, BAM is no longer running regular meetings. But for anyone reading this, please know that starting a similar series would almost certainly be met with interest in Boston!
