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. We will focus on the relation between epistemic injustice and social privilege, highlighting the ways in which epistemic injustice directly contributes to ongoing gender inequity. Finally, we will offer some ways in which we might work toward greater gender equity and what our personal responsibilities for collective injustice might consist in.
