Overview of class

Much work in social epistemology focuses on the various kinds of epistemic wrongs that may be perpetrated against others but far less attention has been devoted to how to engage in the reparative work that is needed in response. In this course, we will explore different kinds of epistemic reparations, which can be understood as intentionally reparative actions in the form of epistemic goods given to those epistemically wronged by parties who acknowledge these wrongs and whose reparative actions are intended to redress them.
