Often, when I google women with a public platform, the first autofill option after their name is “husband.” Nothing equivalent has ever happened when I’ve googled a man.

The Limits of Consent I recently participated in a panel on “The Limits of Consent” at a conference on Consent, Trust, and Power at Oxford.

Some lukewarm-to-medium-hot takes for a panel on "The Limits of Consent" for the excellent *Consent, Truth, & Power* at Oxford this week.

Elise Woodard, The Epistemic Significance of Mind-Changing - PhilPapers Is it ever rational to change your mind based on learning that others have changed theirs? This paper answers affirmatively and explores the conditions under which learning about others’ mind-changes ...

📝 New paper forthcoming in Episteme: philpapers.org/rec/WOOTES

I argue that when others change their minds, that can give you a reason to change yours, too.

I changed my mind a lot in the process of writing this---and if the paper's right, hopefully for the better!

Cover of The Oxford Handbook of Social Epistemology edited by Jennifer Lackey and Aidan McGlynn. Impressionist painting by Pissaro on cover of Paris Street scene.

First two pages of "Social Epistemology and Knowing-How" by Yuri Cath in the same handbook.

Got a nice delivery today! My chapter tries to show how ideas from Hawley on the social role of the concept of KH and work I've done on 'downstream knowledge' can give a unifying explanation of various apparent disanalogies between KH and KT wrt to e.g. testimony and epistemic injustice.

Great way to kick off what promises to be a great conference!
