Biography

During graduate school, Willer worked as a union organizer for the United Auto Workers.[2]

He and Matthew Feinberg developed the idea of "moral reframing".[3]

He has studied masculine overcompensation, showing that men whose masculinity has been threatened tend to adopt more stereotypically masculine attitudes on issues like war and gay rights.[4]
