Amandine Catala: The Dynamics of Epistemic Injustice, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Epistemic injustice refers to the injustice that a person suffers specifically in their capacity as a knower -- i. e., as someone who produces, conveys, or uses knowledge. Epistemic injustice occurs when members of non-dominant groups are not included or taken seriously in conversations or social representations due to individual or societal biases. Amandine Catala turns to important social questions and lived experience to provide a novel account of the dynamics of epistemic injustice: i. e., the many forms epistemic injustice can take, the different sites and mechanisms through which it operates, and the various transformations required for greater epistemic justice.
