Knowledge Production Theory

Knowledge Production Theory explores how knowledge is created, shaped, and influenced within society. It considers that knowledge is not just discovered but actively constructed through social processes, institutions, and power relations. The theory examines who controls knowledge, what perspectives are included or excluded, and how knowledge impacts societal structures. It emphasizes that knowledge production is complex, context-dependent, and influenced by cultural, political, and economic factors, highlighting that knowledge is not neutral but shaped by existing interests and values.
