Trinity Workshop on Skill, Expertise, and Control

Recently, the topics of skill, expertise, and control have been given a fair bit of attention on their own, demonstrating their complexity and significance to philosophy. And although these topics are central to subfields like the philosophy of action and epistemology, work on these topics has quickly transcended these subfields, connecting in many ways with social philosophy, cognitive science, social epistemology, and other areas. The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars engaged in different facets of these topics (established and junior) to discuss and get feedback on new ideas from others deeply engaged in them.

This workshop is the second in a series of five as a part of the ERC funded project 'Corporate Moral Progress' (with Kenneth Silver as the PI). While the project itself is centrally within business ethics, and the workshop will take place in the Trinity Business School, the workshop is a broader attempt to push the frontiers of the field on skill/expertise/control and to find ways to bring that work to bear on the question of corporate agency.
