David Matheson is a postdoctoral fellow with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada's research project, _On the Identity Trail: Understanding the Importance and Impact of Anonymity and Authentication in a Networked Society_. He also teaches in the philosophy department at Carleton University, and is an executive committee member of the Canadian Society for Epistemology. David's doctoral research at Brown University examined the place of everyday knowledge commitments in relation to contemporary theories of knowledge. His current research focuses on social epistemology -- especially, reliance on the word of others as a source of knowledge in a networked society, and the rationality of the layperson's response to conflicting expert testimony -- and various ethical and epistemological aspects of surveillance and the right to privacy.
