Upcoming courses and events
Contemporary themes in Social Epistemology, 9.6.–12.6.2025, Tampere University.
by Dr. T.Y. Branch (Hannover)
Description:
The development and acquisition of knowledge is fundamentally a social endeavor. Knowledge emerges from the contributions of diverse individuals and communities, shaped by a variety of practices and aimed at multiple objectives. However, the modalities of information exchange have undergone significant transformations in terms of medium, volume, and content. This course offers a contemporary examination of critical issues related to the dynamics of information sharing, analyzed through the lens of social epistemology. We will explore questions surrounding who shares information, how it is disseminated, and what types of information are prioritized. Key topics will include the challenges of communicating specific information about pressing issues such as climate change, the implications of artificial intelligence, and the role of communicators as knowledge brokers. We will also connect these contemporary concerns to established themes in social epistemology, such as trust in experts and the nature of uncertainty. In addition to engaging with these emerging topics, students will participate in activities and writing exercises designed to deepen their understanding and interest in the current state of social epistemology.
