DESCRIPTION:<p>We are pleased to announce that the Royal Institute of Philosophy Conference for 2017 will take place at the University of Sheffield on the topic of &lsquo\;Harms and Wrongs in Epistemic Practice&rsquo\;.</p>\n<p>How we engage in epistemic practice\, including our methods of knowledge acquisition and transmission\, the personal traits that help or hinder these activities\, and the social institutions that facilitate or impede them\, is of central importance to our lives as individuals and as participants in social and political activities. In the past decade\, sustained philosophical attention has turned to the various ways in which this practice can and does go awry\, and the epistemic\, moral\, and political harms and wrongs that follow. The aim of this conference is to draw attention to the full range of these harms and wrongs. We hope to bring together a range of theorists working on a diverse variety of relevant topics in order to spark new insights and forge new interconnections.</p>\n<p>Relevant topics include\, but are by no means limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Epistemic vice and vices</li>\n<li>The effects of social positioning on one&rsquo\;s epistemic life</li>\n<li>Epistemologies of ignorance</li>\n<li>The problems of persistent disagreement</li>\n<li>Feminist epistemology\, critical race epistemology\, and other critical epistemologies</li>\n<li>Non-ideal aspects of trust and testimony</li>\n<li>The role of social structures in perpetrating or sustaining epistemic harms and wrongs</li>\n<li>Topics in applied epistemology (medical\, political\, educational\, etc.)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This conference has been organised in accordance with the BPA/SWIP-UK Good Practice Scheme.</p>\n<p>Organising committee: Simon Barker\, Charlie Crerar\, Trystan Goetze</p>\n<p>Please direct all enquiries to: <a href="mailto:hwep2017@sheffield.ac.uk">hwep2017@sheffield.ac.uk</a></p>\n<p>Further information\, including full details on how to submit to present at the conference\, is available at:&nbsp\;</p>
