Tóm tắt
This chapter aims to draw a connection between epistemic injustice and higher education in prison (HEP), motivated by the corresponding beliefs that HEP is a concrete application of epistemic injustice and that the theoretical framework of epistemic injustice provides a powerful justification for HEP. More specifically, the ways in which philosophers describe the harms of epistemic injustice and how they may be counteracted correspond to some of the benefits of HEP as understood by practitioners and students. A close look at the work of the relevant philosophers, practitioners, and students reveals that they often discuss the same phenomena in different terms with different objectives. This chapter will demonstrate that epistemic injustice is common in prison settings and that HEP provides at least a partial antidote. In doing so, it will show that the benefits associated with counteracting epistemic injustice can aid HEP practitioners and students in validating HEP as a tool to help right a social wrong inflicted on incarcerated men and women. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
