Rachel Fraser — Columbia Philosophy Colloquium
Philosopher Rachel Fraser of MIT delivers a colloquium lecture at Columbia's Department of Philosophy, with discussion and reception to follow.
Why we picked this
Columbia's philosophy colloquium series consistently draws top-tier speakers. Fraser's work on social epistemology makes her a natural fit for anyone interested in how knowledge and power intersect.
Rachel Fraser, philosopher at MIT (formerly University of Oxford), delivers a talk as part of Columbia’s 2025-26 Philosophy Colloquium series. Fraser’s research sits at the intersection of epistemology and social philosophy, examining how knowledge claims operate within structures of power and inequality.
The colloquium format (a talk followed by extended Q&A and a reception) is one of philosophy’s better inventions, offering an hour of genuine intellectual exchange rather than a one-directional lecture. Columbia’s series has been a reliable source of serious philosophical work for decades.
Free and open to the public at 716 Philosophy Hall, Columbia University. The session runs from 4:10 to 6:00 PM.
