Resisting Epistemic Injustice: The Responsibilities of College Educators at Historically and Predominantly White Institutions
Brust, Caitlin Murphy; Taylor, Rebecca M.
Educational Theory, v73 n4 p551-571 2023
In this paper, Caitlin Murphy Brust and Rebecca Taylor examine the responsibilities of college educators to resist conditions of epistemic injustice within their institutions. Pedagogy alone cannot bring about epistemic justice in higher education, for no individual epistemic agent can single-handedly transform their epistemic environment. The roots of such injustices are structural and thus require structural interventions. However, college educators do retain some agency to engage in epistemic resistance. Brust and Taylor argue that they can and should take steps to foster just relations within the epistemic communities of their classrooms -- calling for pedagogy that both recognizes the unjust features of the broader epistemic environment and responds to the unique forms of epistemic injustice that manifest in the classroom, with particular attention to seminar-style courses.
