Chinese Society of Epistemology workshop

In November, Philosophy at Southampton hosted a workshop involving members of the Chinese Society of Epistemology. The delegation, led by the Prof. Jiaming Chen (President of the Society), included philosophers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xiamen University, and Zhejiang Normal University.

The workshop was a great success. It provided an opportunity for sharing research and included a number of presentations by both talks visitors and hosts. The workshop marked the beginning of a planned long-term research partnership between Xiamen and Southampton which will build on our shared expertise in epistemology (the theory of knowledge).

In addition, the workshop was an opportunity to promote the collaborative educational programmes that the Faculty of Humanities at Southampton offer in partnership with the College of Humanities at Xiamen, and to explore opportunities for collaboration with other partners in China.
