Social Epistemology provides a forum for philosophical and social scientific enquiry that incorporates the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines who share a concern with the production, assessment and validation of knowledge. The journal covers both empirical research into the origination and transmission of knowledge and normative considerations which arise as such research is implemented, serving as a guide for directing contemporary knowledge enterprises.
Social Epistemology publishes ‘exchanges’ which are the collective product of several contributors and take the form of critical syntheses, open peer commentaries interviews, applications, provocations, reviews and responses.
Social Epistemology will be operating in collaboration with The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) and the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST).

Endorsement of Special Issue Bourdieu and Language
(Volume 27, Issues 3-4, 2013)
"This is an enormously important contribution to the socio-philosophical study of language. As convincingly demonstrated in this rich collection of articles, we must resist the temptation to reduce language either to its social functions or to its universal properties. Even for those who are not interested in, or unsympathetic towards, Bourdieu's analysis of symbolic forms, this Special Issue is a must-read. It provides unprecedented insights into the wider significance of the various socio-ontological conditions underlying real speech situations. Put differently, Simon Susen and his critics succeed in shedding light on what really matters about language."

(Professor of Philosophy, University of Frankfurt and Columbia University)
