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 and methodological issues pertaining to evidence and causal extrapolation in the social sciences.

Currently, I am investigating how the evidence-based policy (EBP) framework structurally excludes the investigation and evaluation of both distributive and redistributive policies, including paradigmatic cases such as basic income. In parallel, I am exploring pluralistic alternatives to these limitations through mixed-methods research and the application of Evidential Pluralism to the social sciences. 

Here is my CV.
