Social Epistemology

​
Epistemic life is rich and complex. While traditional epistemic norms are well-suited for evaluating the parts of epistemic life they’ve been designed to evaluate, they leave much of this rich life unevaluated. My work in social epistemology is dedicated to identifying features of epistemic life that traditional epistemic norms don’t account for, and to discovering and defending new epistemic norms to do this work.​


 I'd be happy to chat about any and all papers :) 

Environmental Epistemology 

​Synthese 2024
With Maralee Harrell and David Danks 

Synopsis: This paper argues that there are epistemic norms for evaluating environments, and begins to develop an account of how these work 
 

Epistemic Taxes (draft available):

Synopsis: It’s a well-recognized truth that what’s morally or politically required can come apart from what’s best for you individually. But this thought—the thought that what’s epistemically required may be divorced from what’s epistemically best for you—is absent in epistemology. I argue that it should not be. 

Epistemology is Progressive (in progress)

Synopsis: This paper argues that the epistemic arc of the universe is long, but bends towards understanding.
