Objective: This conference will examine epistemic injustice from local and global perspectives. Local perspective includes social and historical situatedness, cultural contexts, and individual’s distinctive voices and perspectival narratives, while global perspective refers to frameworks that are not unconditionally applicable to any epistemic injustice but can lay the foundation to further analyze such varieties of epistemic injustices. In analogy with the normative and applied category distinction in ethics, epistemic injustice studies will benefit from the methodology of reflective equilibrium between practice and theory. Grant this, this conference foster cross-disciplinary research exchange about epistemic injustices across different fields, including ethics, epistemology, black feminist philosophy, philosophy of science, and legal studies, as well as practice-oriented research grounded in the cultural context of Japan.
