Peter Graham is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Riverside. He earned his PhD from Stanford University Department of Philosophy in 2000 and is an active member of the APA Western Division. His academic career spans over two decades with significant contributions to epistemology and related fields. Graham specializes in epistemology and cognitive science, with particular expertise in epistemology of testimony, proper function reliabilism, and the intersection of philosophy of psychology, philosophy of biology, and philosophy of language. His research explores how testimony functions as a source of knowledge, arguing that testimonial knowledge can be a species of perceptual (non-inferential) knowledge. He has developed the view that epistemic warrant comes in grades, with the first grade consisting in the normal functioning of the belief-forming process when it has forming true beliefs reliably as an etiological function. An analysis of Graham's 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent focus on epistemological questions surrounding testimony, perception, and assertion. His work frequently engages with contemporary debates in social epistemology, particularly concerning the normativity of assertion and the reliability of testimonial transmission. Graham often collaborates with Nikolaj Jang Lee Linding Pedersen, producing significant joint work on entitlement, epistemic norms, and the structure of defeat. His methodological approach combines rigorous philosophical analysis with insights from cognitive science and evolutionary biology. Graham has made substantial editorial contributions to the field, co-editing major works including Epistemic Entitlement (2020) and The Routledge Handbook of Social Epistemology (2019). His publications span diverse formats from monographs to journal articles, demonstrating both depth and breadth in his scholarly output. His work regularly appears in top philosophy journals such as Synthese, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, and Inquiry. While specific information about his advising and grant activities is limited in the provided materials, Graham's extensive publication record and editorial work suggest significant engagement with the philosophical community. His research program demonstrates continuity with his dissertation work on testimony while expanding into new areas including the normativity of assertion and the epistemology of deception detection. Graham maintains active scholarly engagement through PhilPapers where he serves as an editor for testimony-related content. His research continues to evolve, with recent work addressing cutting-edge topics such as the implications of radical cognitive enhancement for epistemology and the relationship between deception detection research and epistemological theory.
