We invite anybody to present a draft in epistemology (very broadly construed), including formal, social, political, legal, and feminist epistemology, meta-epistemology, epistemology in the sciences, and so on. We strongly prioritize time for feedback and Q&A, so we hope that meetings will cultivate a culture of collaboration in epistemology research at U-M. We may also seek to invite outside speakers to present their works-in-progress, and thus allowing U-M grad students to stay up to date on the latest in epistemological research.

Contact: Gabrielle Kerbel, Sumeet Patwardhan, Francisco Calderon, Dave Baker

Time/Location: Contact Gabrielle Kerbel, Sumeet Patwardhan, Francisco Calderon, Dave Baker for meeting times and locations.
