Liam Kofi Bright is a British philosopher of science in the department of Philosophy, Logic, and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He works primarily on formal social epistemology, particularly the social epistemology of science. Some of his other work has been on Africana philosophy and formal modeling of social phenomena like intersectionality. Bright won the Philip Leverhulme Prize in the category of Philosophy and Theology in 2020..
Early Life and Education
Bright received his Bachelor's in Philosophy from The University of Warwick and an MSc and PhD in Logic, Computation, and Methodology from the Philosophy department at Carnegie Mellon University under the direction of the philosopher Kevin Zollman
Work
Most of Bright's work involves formal models of the epistemology of science and institutional scientific practices such as peer review.

DuBois (whose work he has twice been invited to BBC Radio 4 to discuss) and on formalizations of phenomena like intersectionality.
