Reading Group
The Epistemic Injustice, Reasons and Agency (EIRA) Reading Group meets fortnightly. Members of the Universities of Johannesburg and Kent gather online to discuss a paper that either sits at the intersection between epistemic justice, agency, and reasoning, or which has implications for one or more of these fields. The discussions are lively and open-ended, and all participants are welcome to suggest papers for discussion (or even deliver one, on occasion).
The Reading group is student-led and organised by PhD students Abraham Tobi and Akanimo Andrew Akpan (University of Johannesburg), and Elliot Porter (University of Kent).
If you would like to participate or learn more, please contact Elliot Porter or Abraham Tobi.
*Meetings are at 1400 during British Summer Time, and 1300 GMT UK and 1500 SA.

These research groups are an opportunity for postgraduate students to share their research with colleagues, gain valuable insights on their work and do philosophy in an engaged way.
These research groups cluster around the themes of:
