Epistemic Injustice
“People can be harmed specifically in their capacity to know and to be heard.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Epistemic injustice includes unfair credibility deficits and collective gaps in the concepts needed to understand experience. The analysis connects knowledge practices with power relations.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
A patient describes pain precisely, yet prejudice lowers the weight of their testimony before the evidence is considered.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
Not every disagreement, mistake, or request for evidence is an epistemic injustice.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Audit who receives credibility, by which standard, and which experiences lack shared language.
