Kathleen Murphy-Hollies

Third-year PhD student at the University of Birmingham
Picture
I am a third-year PhD student at the University of Birmingham. I work with Lisa Bortolotti, Iain Law and Quassim Cassam. I am interested in virtue, philosophy of cognitive science, and mental disorder. I am also a research assistant/editor for the Imperfect Cognitions blog. 

My PhD topic considers how self-concepts, self-narratives and explanations of our own behaviour affect our ability to embody moral virtues. We often confabulate, making false and ill-grounded claims when justifying ourselves. Nonetheless, I argue that under certain circumstances and with other virtues, this can contribute to forming sensitivities and ongoing motivations for demonstrating moral virtues. You can see a little interview of my research here, and my PhilPeople page is here. My twitter is here.

Finally, I am delighted to be joining project EPIC in September 2023, as a research fellow. The project will investigate epistemic injustice in healthcare contexts and seek to identify ways to mitigate it.
