Kartik Upadhyaya
Kartik is interested in moral and political problems arising from our practices of blaming, accountability, and other types of moral discourse. He is currently writing about political hypocrisy, and mass "piling-on" of online criticism.
Before joining the Philosophy Department at Warwick, Kartik completed a Research Fellowship at Interdisciplinary Research Lab for Bioethics, within the Department of Applied Philosophy and Ethics at the Academy of Sciences in Prague, and a Research Fellowship the Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Politics and Philosophy, King's College London, supported by REPHRAIN.
Kartik wrote his PhD in Philosophy at the University of Warwick. His doctoral thesis defends a particular theory about the wrongness of hypocritical blaming, and why hypocrites 'lose standing' to blame people for moral faults similar to their own.
Prior to undertaking doctoral research, Kartik read the MsC in Political Theory at the London School of Economics, and PPE at the University of Warwick.
