Losner Briones

¡Hola!

I am Losner Briones. This is my website. I am a predoctoral researcher in philosophy of social sciences at the Department of Logic, History and Philosophy of Science of UNED, in Madrid. Here, I pursue my PhD studies as an FPI [Formación de Personal Investigador] fellow at the research project Evidence and Mechanisms in the Social Sciences (EviSoc). I am also a member of METIS research group in analytical philosophy, based at UNED.

My primary research focuses on the predictive extrapolation of evidence regarding the effectiveness of policy programs implemented through experimental practices. More broadly, I address epistemological, methodological, and ontological issues pertaining to causal extrapolation in the social sciences.

Currently, I am investigating the effectiveness of Basic Income experiments (alone) and the safety of medicines (with Guillermo Marín Penella), using Evidential Pluralism as a theoretical framework and exploring how evidence is extrapolated between real populations, respectively.

Here is my CV.

If you want to get in touch with me, you can send me an email to losner [dot] briones [at] fsof [dot] uned [dot] es
