Since joining the faculty at Saint 直播自慰视频 University School of Law in 2006, Wilson has been teaching and writing about the ways in which social science can inform a variety of areas of law and policy. In her own work, Wilson uses social and cognitive psychology to inform questions about how members of society evaluate risks. She is also interested in how actors can influence others' choices by strategically manipulating the presentation of information.
