Research Abstract |
I am currently working on epistemic closure, the Gettier problem, and topics in the philosophy of memory. I am directing three dissertations: Christina Conroy (metaphysical issues in quantum mechanics, co-director Jeff Barrett), Kristofer Rhodes (the extended mind hypothesis), and Richard Vulich (epistemology of disagreement). | |
