Angarika Deb received a CEU Doctoral Research Grant to conduct research for five months (July - November, 2023) at FLAME University, Pune, India. She will work with Dr Abhishek Sahai on the theory of relative deprivation, and how it modulates perceptions of fairness.

The ACES team published a new paper on "Communication and deniability: Moral and epistemic reactions to denials".

The paper, co-authored by Francesca Bonalumi, Feride Belma Bumin, Thom Scott-Phillips and Christophe Heintz investigates the cognitive reactions to speakers' denials: if the speakers had incentives to mislead you, would their deniable still be credible? Would the speaker be blamed more for misleading you?

You can find the paper in a new Special Issue on "Relevance in Mind" in Frontiers in Psychology:
