\u2013\u00a0Interests<\/strong>:\u00a0The main focus of my recent research is social epistemic logic: the application of logical methods for studying rational activity among socially related groups of agents. This includes the provision of general logical tools for use in a two-dimensional setting in which the \u00a0cognitive structures \u00a0of individual agents (belief ,knowledge, preference, etc) interact with social structures present in individual epistemic states (friendship, epistemic trust, authority, and even epistemically relevant relations such as `seeing\u2019 and \u201cfollowing\u201d, e.g. in social media networks), \u00a0but also the modelling of phenomena from social psychology such as peer pressure,opinion dynamics, pluralistic ignorance and the bystander effect. \u00a0 A secondary research interest is the history of logical thought in China. My main interest here is in applying ideas from contemporary research in logic to modelling ancient conceptions of logically-relevant topics such as \u540d (names) and \u00a0\u8fa9 (distinction marking\/debating), in a way that makes minimal assumptions about whether or not familiar Westerns logical concepts (entailment, logical laws, truth, etc) played any role in the thoughts of the ancients themselves.<\/p>\n
