Theory and Practice in Feminist Epistemology

In feminist epistemology, "theory" refers to ideas about how knowledge is created and understood, often highlighting the influence of gender, power, and social context. "Practice" involves applying these ideas to challenge biases, improve understanding, and promote equality in what is accepted as knowledge. It emphasizes that knowledge isn't neutral; it’s shaped by social experiences, especially those marginalized by gender. Balancing theory and practice encourages a more inclusive approach to understanding how we know what we know, fostering awareness of biases and promoting social change.
