The aim of this workshop is to explore the concept of epistemic injustice, which reveals an

ethical dimension of epistemic life. We will read Miranda Fricker’s book Epistemic Injustice

- Power & the Ethics of Knowing. She investigates testimonial injustice, in which someone is

wronged in their capacity as a giver of knowledge, and hermeneutical injustice, in which

someone is wronged in their capacity as a subject of social understanding.
