Research overview

Why avoid error? On the importance of epistemology
My research is centered around epistemology and metaethics. The overarching theme of my work is the importance of meeting epistemic standards like knowledge, justification, and rationality. This theme unites the three main research programmes I am currently developing.​

• In what sense and to what extent does it matter to meet epistemic standards when we form beliefs? What type of importance or normativity do these standards possess? 
• What are the connections between the kind of importance that epistemology has and other mainstream epistemological debates?
• How do epistemology and  epistemic standards matter for concrete, social issues? For example, what does it mean for our use of the Web and for caring relationships like friendship?
