Joshua Habgood-Coote

I'm a research fellow in philosophy at the University of Leeds in the School of Philosophy, Religion, and History of Science. I work on epistemology, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of technology. Before that, I was a Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Bristol. Earlier still, I did my PhD in the joint St Andrews/Stirling programme.

My research is mainly in epistemology and the philosophy of language. I’m interested in how we should think about knowledge and inquiry, given our nature as practical and social creatures. I’ve written about the nature of practical knowledge, collective inquiry, and which concepts we should us to think about knowledge. I’ve also written about misinformation, social media, deepfakes, and search engines.
