Workshop on Deference, Testimony and Diversity with Miranda Fricker and Kristoffer Ahlström-Vij

The overall theme of the workshop concerns the ways that production of knowledge and justified belief is generated through social collaboration. More specifically, we are interested in the  epistemological issues that arise when people engaged in such collaboration disagree or in other ways are marked by epistemic  diversity.
