Assis Mariano, Phd Student
I am a first year Ph.D. Student in Philosophy at the University of Missouri-Columbia. In this program, I will be working as a TA and studying under the mentoring of Professor Kenny Boyce.
From from 2019 to 2020 I was a Fellow of the LATAM Bridges in the Epistemology of Religion, a US$ 1,3 Million Project funded by the Templeton Foundation. I worked at the Philosophy Department of Boston College (USA) under the mentoring of Prof. Dr. Daniel McKaughan, and the direction of Prof. Dr. Luis Oliveira (University of Houston), the project leader. The purpose of this Fellowship is to give me the opportunity to produce my work in the field of Epistemology of Religion.
I am also one of the organizers of the 3rd World Congress on Logic and Religion (WoColor 2020) at the Department of Mathematics of the Banaras Hindu University, in India. This is a worldwide initiative that gathers philosophers, logicians, mathematicians, scientists, and theologians to promote academic research on the relationship between logic and religion, reason and faith, rational inquiry and divine revelation. This event will take place on November 8-12, 2020 in Varanasi, India
I also hold a MA in Philosophy from the Federal University of Paraiba, UFPB, (Brazil) with a graduate scholarship from The Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel(CAPES). My master's dissertation was on the Structure of the Probabilistic Arguments for the Existence of God.
In the past, I was awarded grants from The Science, Philosophy, and Theology in Latin America Project, from The Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion (University of Oxford), and The Analytic Philosophy of Religion in Brazil Project, from the Brazilian Association of The Philosophy of Religion, both funded by Templeton Foundation.
My research interests fall in the fields of Epistemology, and Metaphysics with intersections in the Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy of Mind. I'm particularly interested in arguments for and against religious beliefs. I also have interests in Logic, Formal Epistemology, and Analytic and Philosophical Theology.
