Knowledge, Belief, Evidence

The Knowledge, Belief, Evidence conference brings together leading researchers from around the world to share their work on issues fundamental to epistemology. Among other topics, this conference is about:

• the nature of knowledge, belief, evidence, and related epistemological notions;
• new frameworks for understanding these notions;
• how they relate to one another;
• the epistemic norms concerned with them;
• methodological issues about epistemology more generally.

Our list of speakers includes Rachel Fraser (Cambridge), Daniel Greco (Yale), Maria Lasonen-Aarnio (Helsinki), Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich), Anna Mahtani (LSE), Sherrilyn Roush (UCLA), Miriam Schoenfield (MIT), Scott Sturgeon (Birmingham), Roger White (MIT) and Tim Williamson (Oxford).

The conference will run from the 21st of May to the 23rd of May 2018 at the Ertegun House, the University of Oxford. There will be a registration fee of £20 for faculty and £15 for graduate students to cover the cost of lunch and refreshments. Space is limited, so interested participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
