Bio
Sarah Wieten is an Assistant Professor in the Durham University Philosophy Department. Her background is in philosophy of science, especially medicine and social sciences, but she has also worked in clinical ethics and meta-research spaces.
Dr. Wieten’s research interests are philosophical and empirical. Her doctoral project was a study of epistemological and ethical issues in Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), a movement in medicine that emphasizes the use of randomized controlled trials. In addition to my philosophical research, she has worked on empirical projects as part of interdisciplinary teams. These projects also address her philosophical interest in the intersections between epistemology and ethics.
