Lani Watson

Dr Lani Watson is fascinated by questions. She is a philosopher and Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and formerly Research Fellow at the University of Oxford.


She has spent nearly two decades studying the art and cience of questioning. She has worked in schools and courtrooms, hospitals and press rooms, and in the heart of Silicon Valley. Across all her research, she has drawn one conclusion: questions are powerful. And if we learn to use them, we can harness their power for good.
