Truth 20/20: How a Global Pandemic Shaped Truth Research

​Adam C. Podlaskowski is a Full Professor of Philosophy at Fairmont State University. One of the co-founders of the Virtual International Consortium for Truth Research, he continues to serve on its steering committee which arranges and hosts talks about truth in a virtual format. His research currently focuses on the intersection of meaning and metaphysics, the extent to which metasemantic assumptions drive certain research programs, and the overall need for a more pluralistic approach to theorizing about linguistic meaning. Much of his published work has been on the topics of pluralism and semantics, rule-following and dispositional accounts of meaning, infinitism and the structure of justification (with Joshua Smith), truth and semantics, and truth and doxastic norms.

Drew Johnson is a PhD student in the Philosophy Department at the University of Connecticut, and a current Research Fellow andformer Graduate Assistant at the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute. In his role at the UConn Humanities Institute, Drew provided administrative support for the Virtual International Consortium for Truth Research. His research focuses on the role that our most firmly held intellectual commitments play in our overall epistemic frameworks, and the significance of such commitments for deep disagreement, public discourse, and knowledge. He is also currently developing a theory of the function of ethical judgment in terms of its particular social coordinating role. Drew has published on hinge epistemology, deep disagreement, skepticism, intellectual humility, and expression and self-knowledge (with Dorit Bar-On).

德魯·約翰遜（Drew Johnson）是康乃爾大學哲學系的博士生，並且是康乃爾大學人文學院的現任研究員和前研究助理。在康乃爾大學人文學院的角色中，德魯為虛擬國際真理研究聯盟提供行政支持。他的研究專注於我們最堅定的知識承諾在整體認識框架中的作用，以及這些承諾對深度分歧、公共話語和知識的重要性。他目前也在發展一種倫理判斷功能的理論，著重於其特定的社會協調角色。德魯的發表作品涵蓋鉸鏈認識論、深度分歧、懷疑主義、知識謙遜，以及表達與自我知識（與多里特·巴爾-奧恩合作）。
