Epistemic Harms Workshop-Retreat at Raitenhaslach Monastery, 4–6 March 2026
4-6 March, 2026: Scholars from across Europe will gather for the Epistemic Harms Workshop, organized and sponsored by the Chair of Philosophy and History of Science at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Hosted at the Cistercian Monastery of Raitenhaslach, the retreat will explore how knowledge practices can cause, perpetuate, or mitigate harm across different domains. The program opens with introductions by Sabina Leonelli, Rena Alcalay, and Ian Kidd, followed by sessions on the nature of harm, the environment, medicine, and artificial intelligence. Highlights include presentations on epistemic injustice, data-intensive healthcare, and the ethical dimensions of AI. Through discussions, collaborative exercises, and reflective activities, participants aim to refine shared approaches to understanding harm and responsibility in research and society.
