A Conversation with Kwame Anthony Appiah

Daphne Brandenburg’s work critically analyses how research findings from psychology and cognitive science have bearing on ethical questions about autonomy, responsibility, and moral emotions. Do implicit biases render us less free? When can a child be considered responsible for what they do? What is the value of moral anger? These are key questions she addresses in her work. As a member of the Young Academy Groningen she facilitates and encourages transdisciplinary research and public outreach at the RUG. 

Charlotte Knowles’ primary research areas lie in feminist philosophy and phenomenology, particularly Heidegger and Beauvoir. These interests come together in her work on complicity. She focusses primarily on complicity in gendered contexts, exploring notions of freedom, responsibility and agency. Charlotte is interested in public philosophy and from 2016 - 2024 had a regular column in The Philosophers' Magazine
