May 11-12, 2024 | UC San Diego | Arts and Humanities Building | Room 426
Knowledge, Science, and Society is a conference on the normative dimensions of scientific knowledge production that aims to encourage collaboration between philosophers of science and epistemologists on questions that are central to socially responsible science.
For example: What kinds of social environments are conducive to producing knowledge? How should scientific experts communicate about science to the general public? What counts as enough evidence for accepting a theory or claim, and can this vary depending on what is morally or practically at stake?
LOCATION: The conference will be held on the fourth floor of the Arts and Humanities building in room 0426.The Arts and Humanities building is part of the Ridge Walk Academic Complex (RWAC) in the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood in Sixth College.
