Overview of CEPDISC’s research At CEPDISC we study discrimination from an experimental-philosophical perspective. Our research is grounded in the combination of philosophical analysis, political and social psychology, and experimental (or other relevant quantitative) methods. At CEPDISC we ask three main research questions: 1) What is discrimination and what forms of discrimination exist? 2)What are the main grounds for objecting to discrimination and how do these relate? 3) What are the psychological mechanisms behind discrimination and what can and should be done to counteract/mitigate discrimination? We pursue these questions through 11 work packages. You can read more about the centre and the work packages (WP) here1 …
