Tim Kenyon

(he/him)

Tim Kenyon is a professor and researcher on the philosophy of language, social epistemology, and critical thinking pedagogy. My work focuses especially on language pragmatics (that is, how language gets used); aspects of public and political speech, like coerced speech, lying, and bullshitting; the social and practical details of how knowledge and information spreads via testimony; and how critical thinking education can contribute to the reduction of biases.
