systematic testimonial injustice

📖 Definitions

"Systematic testimonial injustices, then, are produced not by prejudice simpliciter, but specically by those prejudices that ‘track’ the subject through different dimensions of social activity—economic, educational, professional, sexual, legal, political, religious, and so on. Being subject to a tracker prejudice renders one susceptible not only to testimonial injustice but to a gamut of dierent injustices, and so when such a prejudice generates a testimonial injustice, that injustice is systematically connected with other kinds of actual or potential injustice". (Fricker 2007, 11)
