Writing Homework Help. Wilkes University Epistemic Injustice Reflection Paper
I’m working on a philosophy question and need support to help me study.
Miranda Fricker identifies and describes two kinds of epistemic injustice (wrongs to people as knowers): testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice (the word ‘hermeneutics’ comes from the Greek verb meaning ‘to interpret’). First, explain each of these injustices in your own words. Second, have you ever suffered or perpetrated these kinds of injustices? Give an example of each injustice, if possible from your own experience (and not, in any event, from either the reading or the video). Third, can you think of any other kinds of epistemic injustices, in addition to the two that Fricker identifies? Try to name and briefly describe one further kind.
