How Do We Know What We Know? Epistemology in Seminar

Seminar Enrichment Series

Knowledge of the world is not self-evident. It must be produced through observation, measurement, interpretation, and communication. But what ultimately counts as knowledge? How can we distinguish it from mere opinion? And how do we proceed when what we “know” is contested by others? Join a panel of Seminar instructors as we use Seminar texts to navigate these epistemological questions. 

With David Bird, Ellen Rigsby, Karen Ruff, & Joe Zeccardi
