• Epistemology, especially epistemic justification, epistemic norms, perception, relations between theoretical and practical reason, and scepticism.

Dr. Littlejohn’s research interests are primarily in epistemology, specifically on debates about justification and epistemic normativity. He also has interests in action theory and ethical theory, especially debates about the nature of reasons for action and the moral significance of intention.
