Conference Announcement Theme: Decolonizing Epistemic Injustice and Implicit Bias Type: International Workshop Institution: University of Tromsø Location: Tromsø (Norway) – Online Date: 25.–26.1.2023 __________________________________________________ The workshop establishes a connection between the topic of epistemic injustice and decolonial theories, which have so far been treated relatively separately. It thus contributes to making the cross-connections between the two topics obvious and thus accessible for further scientific analysis. It addresses three main questions of this important relationship: - To what extent can theories of epistemic injustice be applied to fields of inquiry in decolonial theories? - To what extent are theories of epistemic injustice and decolonial theories necessarily to be thought of together, especially in relation to social inequality and our academic practices of theorizing? - To what extent do theories of epistemic injustice themselves need to be decolonized? While theories of epistemic injustice are have reached a wide audience and are being investigated in detail , as can be seen from the increasing number of books, papers, workshops, and seminars being offered on the topic, there is still little significant research on the intersection of epistemic injustice and decolonial theories. The edited collection is intended to contribute to closing three gaps in the academic discourse: (A) To highlight the importance of decolonial research in the field of epistemic injustice and to explore the relation between decolonial theory and theories of epistemic injustice; (B) to enrich the debate on epistemic injustice with non-Western experts on epistemology and/or decolonial theory; and (C) to critically investigate the ways in which the debate on epistemic injustice and our academic and, more generally, epistemic practices have to be decolonialized themselves.
