The Knowledge, Belief, Evidence conference will run from the 21st of May to the 23rd of May 2018 at the Ertegun House, the University of Oxford. It brings together leading researchers to share their work on issues fundamental to epistemology. Among other topics, this conference is about:
o the nature of knowledge, belief, evidence, and related epistemological notions;
o new frameworks for understanding these notions;
o how they relate to one another;
o the epistemic norms concerned with them;
o methodological issues about epistemology more generally.
Our list of speakers includes Rachel Fraser (Cambridge), Daniel Greco (Yale), Maria Lasonen-Aarnio (Helsinki), Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich), Anna Mahtani (LSE), Sherrilyn Roush (UCLA), Miriam Schoenfield (MIT), Scott Sturgeon (Birmingham), Roger White (MIT) and Tim Williamson (Oxford). More details are available at the conference website.
There is a registration fee of £20 for faculty and £15 for graduate students to cover the cost of lunch and refreshments. You can register by following the link here. Space is limited, so interested participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
The conference is generously funded by the Ertegun House, the Mind Association, the Analysis Trust, Pembroke College, and the Oxford Faculty of Philosophy. With the support of The Analysis Trust, we have a very limited number of funding remaining to subsidise the conference fee and cost of accommodation for non-Oxford philosophy graduate students. With the support of the Mind Association we have some funding available to subsidise the cost of childcare during the conference. If you are interested in either form of support, please email matthew.hewson or weng.san as soon as possible.
