“Transcribathon” describes the full range of the Early Modern Studies Working Group’s efforts to teach and develop the skills of paleography. Critical to researching the early modern period is the ability to read manuscripts. This is not always so easy! Thus, our ongoing paleography workshop is designed to provide introductory tutelage and regular practice. -

"Is Epistemic Democracy Self-Undermining?"
In this talk, I try to resolve a dilemma for epistemic theories of democracy. The dilemma, briefly, is that epistemic theories of democracy are either not epistemic or not democratic. If there is a procedure-independent standard for correct political outcomes (as epistemic democrats commonly claim), then either (a) we must appeal to those who know what the correct decision is, in which case the decision-making process is not democratic, or (b) we must insist on the democratic decision-making process itself, in which case we cannot defend democracy on epistemic grounds. To dissolve this dilemma, I articulate a new theory of epistemic democracy. I maintain that we can evaluate the outcomes of democratic procedures along various epistemic dimensions without identifying a particular standard of correctness and without appealing to epistemic authorities as arbiters of truth. -
