Joe Carter

I graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, and then completed a Masters Degree in Philosophy at the University of Bristol in 2020. My focus is predominantly in Ethics, Philosophy of Language, Epistemology, Philosophy of Psychology and Philosophy of Science.

I am fortunate to be undertaking a PhD focusing on epistemic injustice, particularly hermeneutical injustice and the philosophy of interpretation. My research is interested in the ways that environments mediate certain ways of making things intelligible, and the qualities of that intelligibility. Of particular interest to me is the way communications are mediated in online formats, and the consequences this has for communication and understanding.

I am also interested in the epistemology of fakes and misinformation, and the emerging philosophical work on Deepfakes, AI and Fake News.
