Professor Alison Wylie
Alison Wylie is a professor at the University of British Columbia. She specialises in the philosophy of the social and historical sciences. Wylie raises a number of important ethical issues in the social sciences regarding epistemic injustice.
Her work is case-based; she focuses on archaeological research, particularly on questions of evidential reasoning and ideals of objectivity. Wylie’s views underline what it means to be a ‘civic university': accountable to the diverse communities affected by research.
