Daniel Hruschka studies culture change and the relationship between culture and behavior.

As Professor and Associate Director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, his two main research questions focus on how we stay healthy in diverse social environments and how humans cooperate.

For the last 10 years, he has been conducting research on these questions in rural Bangladesh. To complement this work with a broader global perspective, he also analyzes large-scale datasets on the social determinants of health worldwide.
