We tend to think that prejudices and stereotypes are ethically problematic, but recent philosophical work has suggested that they are likely to be epistemologically problematic as well. In this talk, I will introduce the concept of epistemic injustice, which refers to the phenomenon of being wronged in one’s capacity as a knower, and explore its epistemological, ethical, and political implications.
