Erman Sozudogru

I am Lecturer in Philosophy of Science and Medicine at UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies. I am interested in epistemological and methodological questions regarding scientific and medical practices. In particular I am interested in philosophical questions regarding the use of scientific knowledge and expertise in policy making and governance. In my doctoral research I focus on how the socio-political context of diseases shape scientific practices and scientific knowledge, with particular emphasis on neglected tropical diseases. Since then I have been working mainly in philosophy of science and medicine with expertise in scientific pluralism, American pragmatism, social epistemology. I also worked as a consultant on Adverse Outcome Pathway report, commissioned by the European Commissions Joint Research Centre.
