[SydPhil] Updated Schedule: Workshop on Epistemic Accountability at UNDA, August 14-15

[Adam Piovarchy]

Workshop on Epistemic Accountability at UNDA, August 14-15

The ‘social turn’ in epistemology has seen a recent explosion of work from philosophers investigating epistemic analogues of what we might call our ‘accountability practices’: holding responsible, blaming, praising, excusing, exempting, forgiving, reconciling, and atoning, among other things, which have traditionally been thought of in primarily moral terms. This workshop, hosted by The Institute for Ethics and Society, aims to bring together philosophers working at the intersection of moral psychology, responsibility, game theory, and epistemology, to investigate such practices and their foundations.

The two-day workshop will take place in person in Sydney on August 14 and 15 at The University of Notre Dame, Australia’s Broadway campus, in the Moorgate room (10 Grafton St, Chippendale). Registration is free.

This workshop will now also be able to be attended online via zoom. To register for either in-person or online attendance, and for catering purposes, please email adam.piovarchy at nd.edu.au<mailto:adam.piovarchy at nd.edu.au>
