liberatory epistemologies

📖 Definitions

"epistemologies that go beyond establishing warrantability of knowledge claims to uncovering the power dimensions of knowledge practice. ... Feminist and other liberatory epistemologies thus cannot only be correctives to standard epistemologies, but must also at times separate or withdraw from dominant ways of making sense of the world." (Tuana, 2006, pp.13-14)
