Details

The concept of epistemic injustice was introduced by Miranda Fricker and refers to distinctively epistemic forms of injustice. It occupies a rich space at the intersections of ethics, epistemology, and feminist philosophy and is complexly related to wider issues in social and political philosophy. This two-day conference aims to explore, develop, and apply the concept of epistemic injustice, and we invite papers that explore or apply the concept of epistemic injustice, especially in relation to (i) epistemology, (ii) ethics, social and political philosophy, and (iii) feminism. We also welcome papers that offer historical and sociological perspectives, and that present case studies of epistemic injustices in domains such as healthcare or education.

Please sent a 400 word abstract by Monday 3 February 2014 to both organisers:

Dr Havi Carel  (Bristol) [email protected]        
Dr Ian James Kidd (Durham) [email protected]  

Decisions will be announced by 1 March 2014.

Please direct any enquiries to either of the organisers.

We will endeavour to accommodate any needs such as childcare and disabled access where possible to enable participation in the conference.
