Associate Professor of Philosophy and Fellow of the University of Tennessee Humanities Center (UTHC), University of Tennessee I specialise in epistemology. My research clusters into five areas. The first is the nature and value of understanding and explanation. The second concerns questions about epistemic virtue, value, and luck. The third area is the ethics of belief and especially the effect of moral considerations on epistemic norms. Fourthly, I examine meta-philosophy and the epistemology of philosophy. Finally, I research social and applied epistemology, especially collective epistemology and legal epistemology. Recently I have been investigating the epistemology of legal standards of proof and sexual assault accusations. These key words provide an overview of my research themes: Understanding, explanation, wisdom, evidence, justification, belief, coherence, knowledge, testimony, disagreement, doubt, collective belief, pragmatic encroachment, moral encroachment, epistemic contextualism, stakes, risks, the ethics of belief, the epistemology of statistics, relevant alternatives theory, lottery paradoxes, proof paradoxes, safety, sensitivity, normic support, modal epistemology, epistemic virtue, epistemic luck, epistemic value, the swamping problem, the Meno problem, philosophical judgement, counterexamples, methodology, intuitions, normality conditions, genealogy, teleological approaches, function-first epistemology, Edward Craig, social epistemology, applied epistemology, legal epistemology, feminist epistemology, legal standards of proof, preponderance of evidence, beyond reasonable doubt, statistical evidence, crime statistics, profiling, rape accusations, gaslighting, credibility, epistemic injustice.

Professeur adjoint, École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) Mon groupe de recherche est spécialisé dans la dynamique des fluides expérimentale pour l’étude des écoulements instationnaires, allant des investigations fondamentales aux innovations industrielles et médicales. Pour extraire et exploiter la physique cachée derrière la complexité de ces écoulements, nous appliquons et développons de nouvelles techniques de post-traitement. Actuellement, nous étudions la théorie et les applications des agencements de jets pulsés. Nous recherchons et développons des applications de jets pulsés pour atténuer le décollement des flux sur les profils aérodynamiques, pour stimuler le mélange à faible cisaillement, pour propulser et manœuvrer les véhicules aquatiques et pour mieux comprendre certaines maladies cardiovasculaires/urogénitales.
Professor of Environmental Humanities, Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, University of British Columbia My primary research focus is ecocriticism, or environmental literary and cultural criticism, and I also have significant publications in human-animal studies (HAS) and eco-pedagogy. I am the author of Ecocriticism (Routledge 2004; 2011 2nd edn.; 2023 3rd edn.), the definitive student introduction, and lead co-author of 'Climate Change Scepticism: A Transnational Ecocritical Analysis' (Bloomsbury Academic 2019). In recent years, I have become interested in questions of academic freedom and freedom of speech, whilst my research has become increasingly multidisciplinary.

Research Scientist, FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town MBChB (UCT); MSc CB (UCT); PhD (UCT) Dr Grant Joseph is both a medical practitioner and a research scientist. Following 10 years of medical practice, he completed an MSc in conservation biology and a PhD in zoology. Research interests include conservation biology, landscape ecology, community ecology, restoration ecology, ornithology, and the emerging threats to human health from global environmental change. He is presently investigating the influence of termitaria on biodiversity and resilience in dystrophic savannah systems, restoration of semi-arid systems, and the effects of environmental change on bird functional distribution across gradients of aridity and on ecological systems and human health. He believes that through education and shared knowledge with the general public and commercial institutions, scientists can play a decisive role in achieving a sustainable future in which the wonder of four billion years of life is respected, and better understood by all.
