We've likely all heard at least a bit about the "pipeline" problem in academia. While the need to address the "pipeline" problem and create more diverse institutions is real, it is not the only area of concern when attending to gender inequalities across the University.

There are many responsibilities we have as knowers. The responsibility to share accurate information is one responsibility, but not the only one. In this talk, we will explore the connections between Miranda Fricker's work on epistemic injustice and the ways that it can manifest in academic settings.

Conversations about gender equity can be challenging. Not only are there lots of ways that gender inequities can manifest, often making the discussion fractured and complicated, but the personal responsibilities each of us have for collective injustice, and the important real-life impacts of gender inequity can make productive dialogue fraught with dispositional barriers to success.
