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 recently 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 help run the EPIC blog and the Imperfect Cognitions blog. Get in touch if you'd like to write a blog post. Or for any other reason, really.
At the moment I am co-organising a workshop on 'Understanding oneself through others: Epistemic Injustice in Healthcare X Distributed Cognition', taking place the University of Birmingham on 23rd-24th September 2024. Poster with further info here.
In relation to this, myself and Eleanor Byrne are guest-editors of a special issue in Philosophical Psychology on the same theme of the conference. You can see the relevant webpage here, and we welcome paper submissions until 31st March 2025.
