The Scottish Epistemology Early Career Researchers (SEECRs) group is holding a workshop for papers in any area of epistemology, authored by postgraduate students and self-identified early career researchers based in, or with research links to, Scotland.

The workshop will take place at the University of St. Andrews on the 24^th August 2023.

The aim of the workshop is to share cutting-edge research and facilitate the exchange of ideas among early career epistemologists in Scotland, as well as to provide early career epistemologists with detailed feedback on their work in a supportive and constructive environment.

Five papers will be selected to be pre-read and discussed at the workshop with a group of other postgraduate students and early career researchers based in Scotland. Each paper will receive a response from a member of SEECRs who works on the same or a similar research topic.

Conference Venue: G03, Edgecliffe, St Andrews (coffee breaks and lunch in G01).

Format: In person.
