Bacheca:

My research project analyzes challenges of contemporary public discourse from an applied (social-) epistemology perspective. More specifically, I look at the role of testimony in deliberation, the effects of impaired testimonial exchange on democratic legitimacy, and epistemic responsibilities of democratic citizens. My research interests include voting ethics, democratic legitimacy, epistemic democracy, moral responsibility, social epistemology and epistemic justice.
