Noa Grass is working on the horse administration of Ming China. She has recently completed an article on frontier horse ranches in the early decades of the dynasty. During the time at the institute of advanced studies, she plans to work on temples to the horse god that were constructed near ranches both on the border and inland. Built and maintained by local official or military units, these temples were visited regularly by chief military officers that visited periodically to preside over rituals, and provided lodgings for officials that came to inspect the horses. They therefore served as a meeting point between local social and national administrative elements of the horse administration.

Professor Handley’s research focuses on the psychology of reasoning and the interplay between logic and beliefs in rational judgment. Whilst on the one hand, people regularly achieve goals that depend upon adherence to logical principles and rational thought, they simultaneously often fail to solve even the simplest of cognitive puzzles, relying instead on heuristics that draw upon beliefs or similar associative processes. In his most recent research, Professor Handley has developed a range of experimental techniques that appear to paint a more optimistic picture of human judgment, one in which reasoners show an intuitive appreciation of logical structure. His work suggests that people are influenced by the logical validity of arguments even in the absence of explicit instruction to attend to these features. A key challenge remains in identifying the processes the underpin intuitive logic and mapping the extent to which reasoners show awareness of this influence on their thinking.
