non-dominant hermeneutical marginalization

📖 Definitions

Non-dominant marginalization occurs when social groups are able to render their experiences intelligible, but their conceptual resources are not respected by the dominant group (Mason 2011, 298).

💡 Examples

  • "On Mason’s interpretation, [Carmita] Wood had adequate resources. She could make sense of her social experience, but those resources were not respected by the dominant group" (Goldstein 2022, 1865).
