Uljana Feest is professor of philosophy at the Leibniz University in Hannover, where she holds the chair of social philosophy and philosophy of social science. Her primary areas of research are the philosophy of psychology and the philosophy of experimentation, both of which she approaches with a focus on the ways in which methodological and conceptual questions are entwined in the investigative practices of psychology and neighboring fields. Uljana has published widely on various aspects of operationism (which is also the topic of a book manuscript), concept formation, introspection, measurement, and the replication crisis (https://philpeople.org/profiles/uljana-feest). In her work she engages with research practices and epistemological reflections of past and current science and philosophy from the 19 th century onward. She is currently on the executive board of the Committee for Integrated HPS.
Carl Hoefer is an ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona, and Director of the Barcelona Institute of Analytic Philosophy (BIAP). From 2009 - 2017 he was the founding Editor in Chief of EJPS. His research has mostly addressed metaphysical questions by examining the metaphysics of nature that flows from our best scientific theories. He has authored many works on the philosophy of space and time, especially in connection with relativity theories, and on the nature of objective chance. Recent research interests include: scientific realism; how to understand quantum non-locality; and how to understand the passage of time. Most recently, in the Covid-19 era, he has begun working on the failures of objectivity in medical and epidemiological research.
