Ross Patrizio Philosophy

I'm a PhD student at COGITO Epistemology Research Centre, University of Glasgow, where I'm supervised by Professor Chris Kelp, Professor Mona Simion, and Professor J. Adam Carter. My thesis is on responsible inquiry—on what's involved in being good at settling questions. I've focused mostly on the role of testimony and trust in inquiry. More specifically, I've been thinking about the epistemic norms governing speakers and hearers in testimonial exchanges, the difference between simple exchanges (e.g., a simple assertion) and complex ones (e.g., a narrative or discourse), and, more recently, the relationship between conversational and testimonial norms. 

Outside of epistemology, I have a long-standing interest in philosophy of language and feminist philosophy. On the former, I am currently working on a paper on Gricean conversational maxims; on the latter, I have published a paper on theories of collective responsibility for structural injustice. See here for more - and feel free to reach out if you'd like to read a draft.

Beyond research, I am a tutor for Widening Participation at the University of Glasgow, a course designed to help prospective undergraduates from underrepresented socioeconomic groups with the transition to university life. I am also a Research Assistant for Prof. Herman Cappelen (Hong Kong), director of AI & Humanity Lab.
