Amiya Hashkes

I am a PhD student in philosophy at the University of St Andrews, where I am a member of the Arché Philosophical Research Centre and the Center for Ethics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs (CEPPA). My thesis advisors are Jessica Brown and Sanford Goldberg, and I am broadly interested in all forms of epistemology, as well as philosophical methodology, moral philosophy, and the philosophy of religion.

My dissertation is about the relationship between understanding and epistemic responsibility, and its applications to issues in social epistemology such as testimony, expertise, and authority. Other issues that I am currently writing about include the advantages of fallibilism, and problems with the framing of the internalist-externalist divide about justification.

I completed my BA and MA degrees at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I wrote my thesis on the epistemology of testimony under the supervision of Ittay Nissan-Rozen. My full CV can be found here.
