| Summary: | Why does global knowledge still flow along unequal, often invisible hierarchies, and what happens when those on the margins speak back? This book invites you to examine how academic power is constructed, maintained, and contested across cultures, languages, and geopolitical spaces. You meet scholars who reveal the hidden mechanisms of epistemic injustice and propose concrete ways to reshape the global knowledge order. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across the world, the volume offers fresh tools to rethink expertise, confront entrenched biases, and imagine a more inclusive, dialogical, and truly global science. It encourages you to question what counts as knowledge, and who gets to decide. Contributors are: Rene Brauer, Mirek Dymitrow, Martin Gren, Elżbieta Grzelak-Kostulska, Hans Eyong, Nora Hagström, Shelley Kotze, Valentin Mihaylov, Tomáš Imrich Profant, and Nazem Tahvilzadeh. |
