Sense of Commitment	ERC	Dr. John Michael has received a 5 -year ERC starting grant to investigate the Sense of Commitment.

Time: Between Metaphysics and Psychology	AHRC	An Interdisciplinary three-year project lead by Christoph Hoerl (Philosophy, Warwick) and Teresa McCormack (Psychology, Queen's University Belfast). The overarching aim of this project is to provide an empirically informed critical examination of the relationship between our everyday understanding of time, and time as typically understood within modern science.	Christoph Hoerl
Investigating the Ethics and Politics of Sociability	Leverhulme	The Sociability Project will explore the ethics and politics of sociability, including 1) key notions such as loneliness and the need to belong, which are well-established, but little-analysed ideas in psychology; 2) the duties we have to provide decent social contact to each other; 3) the interpersonal, social rights we may assert; 4) the virtues in being sociable; and 5) the value in being socially included. The Project will analyse the boundaries between social duty and virtue, and will apply an analysis of social rights, duties, and virtues to three specific areas of moral and political concern: 1) sociability and disability; 2) interspecies sociability; and 3) globalized sociability.

Epistemological Pluralism	Leverhulme (Early Career Fellowship)	Epistemological Pluralism aims to explain both the commonalities and the differences between the various species of propositional knowledge (including practical and psychological self-knowledge, knowledge of other minds, testimonial, inferential and perceptual knowledge), and to do so in a way which is more in keeping with the workings of our common-sense epistemic concepts than the standard accounts of knowledge currently on offer in the literature. Again, the idea that knowledge should be understood in a forwards-looking way is crucial to this project.	Lucy Campbell
The Road Not Taken: Kant and Organised Systems	Leverhulme (Early Career Fellowship)	This project traces the conceptual origins of biology in eighteenth century natural history, which includes the work of Du Châtelet, Buffon, Haller, Kant, Kielmeyer, Goethe and Schelling.	Andrew Cooper
Social Human Rights	AHRC (Network Grant)	This network aims to bring together leading philosophers of human rights and rising stars to present frontier work on themes related to social rights, including the conceptual terrain, the place of social rights within the standard dichotomy between so-called ‘liberty rights’ and ‘welfare rights’, the defensibility of social rights as human rights, their relevance to distributive justice issues such as equality of opportunity, and their bearing on other branches of political philosophy such as democratic theory. The conference aims both to expand human rights theory and to set an agenda for further research.	Kimberley Brownlee
The Communicative Mind	UKRI (Future Leaders Fellowship)	The project will use the tools of philosophy, linguistics, and psychology to develop a new account of the developmental relationship between 'mindreading' and communication.	Richard Moore
