My research develops an ecological model of inquiry that examines how epistemic agents, institutions, and technologies shape one another and together structure our capacity for collective knowledge. At the intersection of social epistemology, the philosophy of artificial intelligence, and political philosophy, I ask how new technologies (especially generative AI) transform the epistemic environments we inhabit. I also study the broader conditions under which epistemic responsibility must be rethought for agents embedded in networked systems of inquiry.
I also work on issues pertaining to epistemic injustice. Specifically, I argue that epistemic injustice is a tool to rationalize the mechanisms of broader oppressive systems. That is to say, epistemic injustice creates conditions under which broader social injustice is strengthened and maintained, which in turn promotes further epistemic injustice (now rationalized though an oppressive logic). This work aims to show that purely epistemic interventions on epistemic injustice are incapable of generating stable resolutions because epistemic injustice is a natural result of underlying social injustice. From this it follows that some of our epistemic duties to one another might involve broader liberatory moral duties. |
