My major research priority is to find the best ways to promote effective altruism. If you want to be involved in this project, email me at: joshua.lewis@nyu.edu. As in, actually email me. Like now. It’s important.
Most of my ongoing effective altruist research explores how to overcome psychological barriers to effective altruism. I am also interested in studying perceptions of the effective altruism movement and the best tactics for attracting human and financial capital to it.
