Lorraine Code

Lorraine Code is a key figure in social and feminist epistemology, which study how knowledge is shaped by social contexts and power dynamics. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing diverse perspectives, especially those of marginalized groups, in the pursuit of knowledge. Code argues that traditional views of knowledge often overlook the contributions and experiences of women and other minorities. By advocating for a more inclusive understanding of knowledge, she highlights the role of social relations in shaping what we consider valid knowledge. Her work encourages a deeper examination of how our beliefs are formed in context, rather than in isolation.
