SPECIAL TOPICS IN EDUCATION 5: INTRODUCTION TO EPISTEMIC INJUSTICE, TRANSFORMATION,AND EDUCTION

概要

This class is designed to equip students with several important topics in the epistemology of education. The epistemology of education is the discipline that examines education in terms of truth, knowledge, and understanding. As recent epistemology has been focusing on epistemic dysfunctions, such as epistemic injustice, epistemologists and philosophers of education are starting to explore epistemic dysfunctions in education. This class provides students with the basic understanding of epistemic dysfunctions in education so that they can acquire the competence to critically consider contemporary issues in so-called non-ideal educational epistemology.
