Edited volume

Epistemic Injustice and Violence: Exploring Knowledge, Power and Participation in Philosophy and Beyond.

Lena Schützle, Barbara Schellhammer, Anupam Yadav, Cara-Julie Kather, Lou Thomine (eds.). 

Forthcoming summer 2024, transcript.

The anthology project is born after an interdisciplinary workshop in Munich (2022). In this book, the will to contribute to the discourse on epistemic injustice joins the desire to invent and put in perspective new tools to acquire and create knowledge, academic and non-academic. We editors invited influential thinkers and produced a Call for Participation to gather various perspectives and multiple experiences. This anthology will be published in open-access by trancript and is financially supported by the Chair for Intercultural Social Transformation, the Cologne Center for Contemporary Epistemology and the Kantian Tradition and Leuphana University.
