Kevin McCaffree is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of North Texas. As a 🏷️#sociologist, his research spans morality, social order, and secularization, extending into criminology and cultural evolution. His work examines how social bonds form and dissolve, why moral norms emerge and shift, and how societies maintain order as religious affiliation declines. He approaches these questions empirically, treating moral and cultural change as patterns that can be measured rather than asserted.

He is the author of multiple books and serves as co-editor-in-chief of the journal Theory and Society. Through his affiliation with the Skeptic Research Center, he investigates belief, skepticism, and the social dynamics of conviction. His collaboration with Justin Lane produced the paper 📝"Is radicalization reinforced by social media censorship?" and the related 📝Censorship Effect report, which modeled how content moderation can intensify rather than diffuse extremist belief. The findings drew wide attention, including discussion on Joe Rogan's podcast by 📝Daryl Davis and 📝Bill Ottman.
