Description
EPISTEMIC JUSTICE AND THE POWER OF STORIES IN TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The session will be structured as a learning community of engaged scholars who will explore Dr. Miranda Fricker’s (2007) philosophical framework of epistemic justice/injustice, its application in recent scholarship on democratic participation and social change, and its implications for transforming the work of community engagement. Participants will learn about the defining elements of epistemic justice/injustice, discover the potential epistemic and ethical repercussions of injustice for individuals and community through participation in a story circle, and discuss how to promote epistemic justice in community engagement endeavors in areas of examination that emerge from common themes in our shared stories.
