Date: 2023-11-07

In this session of the Children in Theory series, Alison MacKenzie introduces social epistemology as a theoretical method, and focuses on exploring the value and applicability of one particular dimension of social epistemology of utmost relevance for socially-engaged research: Epistemic Injustice. Simply explained, epistemic injustice is fundamentally concerned with a wrong done to someone specifically in their capacity as a knower.
