Alison Bailey

Alison Bailey is a philosopher known for her work on epistemic injustice, which refers to the ways in which people can be wronged in their capacity as knowers. She highlights how marginalized groups often face prejudice that undermines their credibility and ability to share their experiences. Bailey emphasizes that this injustice can affect both personal and collective knowledge, fostering a culture where certain voices are silenced. Her work urges us to recognize and combat these inequities in knowledge-sharing, promoting a more inclusive understanding of truth and understanding in society.
