Kathleen Murphy-Hollies
Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham
I am currently a research fellow on project EPIC. The project will investigate epistemic injustice in healthcare contexts and seek to identify ways to mitigate it. I am interested in how epistemic injustice disrupts the social formation of self-knowledge. Generally, I am interested in philosophy of cognitive science, social epistemology, virtue ethics, and mental health.
I completed (March 2024) my PhD at the University of Birmingham. I worked with Lisa Bortolotti, Iain Law and Quassim Cassam. My PhD was examined by Neil Levy and Constantine Sandis (no corrections). My PhD topic considered how self-concepts, self-narratives and explanations of our own behaviour (and in particular, confabulations) affect our ability to embody moral virtues.
My PhilPeople page is here. Twitter is here. I am @kmurphyhollies on Bluesky. I help curate and spread the word of the Philosophy Garden. I am book review editor for Philosophical Psychology. I help run the EPIC blog, so get in touch if you'd like to write a blog post. Or for any other reason, really.
Myself and Eleanor Byrne are currently guest-editors of a special issue in Philosophical Psychology, 'Understanding oneself through others: Epistemic Injustice in Healthcare X Distributed Cognition'. This is in conjunction with a workshop we ran on this same theme in September 2024 at the University of Birmingham. We welcome paper submissions until 31st March 2025, submit here!
I am co-leading, with Dr Alaina Schempp, a project ‘Film, Storytelling and Conspiracies’, which seeks to investigate links between conspiracy ideation, digital storytelling, and historical theological roots of conspiracies. Funded by a College of Arts and Law Incubator Scheme at the University of Birmingham.
