Jeroen de Ridder is a University Chair and Professor of Political Epistemology at the Department of Philosophy of the VU. His research focuses on issues in social epistemology, philosophy of science, and philosophy of religion. Currently, most of it is in collective epistemology and political epistemology: can groups have beliefs and knowledge, are there collective intellectual virtues, what determines the epistemic performance of groups, how do people form, maintain, and reason about their political beliefs? He also apply these issues in thinking about the epistemic qualities of liberal democracy.

Krishma Labib is Assistant Professor in Research Integrity at the Department of Philosophy at the VU. In her PhD research, she worked in the SOPs4RI consortium, developing guidelines on research integrity to research institutions and funders in Europe. Her current research interests focus on how to make the fields of research integrity and open science more fair. She is, in particular, interested about the intersection of decolonial and anticolonial approaches with these fields. For this work, she combines qualitative research methodology for theoretical work, working outside of disciplinary boundaries.
