Overcoming Epistemic Injustice is a unique and valuable contribution. It brings philosophical questions to bear on how to combat epistemic injustice, and how to do so in specific contexts: in healthcare, the legal and correctional systems, education and academia, and sports. Daring, empirically-grounded, and solutions-oriented, it is a model for scholarship in pursuit of justice. -- Michael Brownstein, Associate Professor of Philosophy, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York One of the most pressing issues for addressing the complex intersections between oppression and forms of epistemic injustice is how such forms of injustice can be effectively resisted and ultimately overcome. Overcoming Epistemic Injustice augments current research by focusing on case studies of institutional structures that perpetuate epistemic harms. From medical and mental health institutions to the criminal justice system to the academy to implicit bias research, the authors of this distinctive collection offer insights regarding complex circulations of power and knowledge that provide resources for challenging such structures. -- Nancy Tuana, DuPont/Class of 1949 Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University
