Injustice, Epistemic Oppression, and Education
Epistemic Injustice. Epistemic Oppression. Social Epistemology. Education
This research aims to investigate possible relations between the concepts of “epistemic injustice”, “epistemic oppression”, as Social Epistemology’s literature defines, and the education. I intend to answer the following questions: what are epistemic injustices and oppressions? Are there some relations between these epistemic injustices, oppressions, and the education? What is a just education, epistemically speaking? To answer it, I divided the dissertation into three chapters, each dedicated to one of these issues. In the first chapter, I will introduce the concepts of epistemic injustice and epistemic oppression, paying attention to possible conceptual divergences and interpretative horizons. In the second chapter, I will try to identify the relation between epistemic injustice, oppression, and education, from the Social Epistemology point of view. Finally, in the third chapter, I intend to return to the authors presented in the first chapter to investigate available concepts of justice applicable to the educational context.
