Event today on epistemic injustice

11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK

Monday Event
“Silencing the Sick? Epistemic Injustice and Illness”: Ellie Byrne, Ian James Kidd and Louise Richardson-Self

Patients consistently report feeling ignored or dismissed within healthcare contexts. Making this situation worse is the fact that patients and policymakers alike find it very natural to erase certain voices and patient perspectives. In this event, three philosophers of illness will address these issues using the concept of an epistemic injustice. We will ask why persons with illnesses might be particularly susceptible to epistemic injustices, and ask what, if anything, could be done to try to rectify these injustices.
