Christopher provides a comprehensive introduction into the philosophy of language and delves into the ways it shapes and informs the legal sector, debates on translation, and questions surrounding intelligibility. In this intersection between philosophy and linguistics, we explore how these frameworks can help acknowledge or remedy cases of linguistic and epistemic injustice.  About Christopher:  Christopher Thomas Phillippe-Rodriguez is an MA and prospective MPhil student in philosophy at University College London. He holds a bachelor's degree summa cum laude in philosophy and a minor in chemistry from the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley, during which he specialized in jurisprudence and epistemology. His primary research interests currently include the philosophy of language, philosophy of perception, epistemology, and 20th Century Continental philosophy. He maintains interests other than philosophy in the form of linguistics, literature, cognitive science, and geography.  Find some of Christopher’s research and writing here:  Phillippe-Rodriguez, C.
