Alessandra Tanesini, “Arrogance, Privilege and Testimonial Injustice”

In this talk, I argue that individual and group-based arrogance are often associated with privilege and can lead to widespread testimonial injustices. First, I argue that arrogance is based on a form of self-esteem that finds value in the self only to the extent to which one is superior to other people. Group-based arrogance is based on a form of self-esteem that finds value in the self only to the extent to which one’s social group is superior to other social groups. Both forms of arrogance lead to behaviours such as bragging, boasting, to close-mindedness, and dogmatism, and to conduct that intimidates and humiliates other people. Second, I show that arrogance is contingently connected to social and economic privilege. Third, I examine how arrogance is often instrumental in intrapersonal and pre-emptive testimonial injustices that are due to social identity prejudice.

Kunimasa Sato, “Testimonial Injustice Induced by Ignorance of Japanese Privileges”

This talk demonstrates testimonial injustice perpetrated by the majority of Japanese people owing to a particular form of privilege, which I name “Japanese privilege.” Recently, Japanese scholars have highlighted a privilege that unduly advantages Japanese people as members of a majority in Japan, which generates their ignorance of racial and ethnic minorities’ voices in the Japanese context (e.g., Deguchi 2021; Kawai 2023, Chapter 7; Matsuo 2010). Based on these studies, I first articulate the racialized conception of Japanese-ness and characterize some features of testimonial injustice, including passive injustice, induced by Japanese privilege. Second, I distinguish the particular form of ignorance maintained by Japanese privilege from Medina’s (2013) notion of active ignorance that the privileged are apt to commit. Third, I suggest a value-sensitivity approach to remedy testimonial injustice induced by Japanese privilege.

Kunimasa Sato, “Overview of Epistemic Injustice in Education”

Since the publication of Fricker’s seminal book Epistemic Injustice in 2007, the notion of epistemic injustice has vigorously been developed. In this opening talk, I give a very brief overview of the present studies of epistemic injustices in education. I then introduce my latest papers that originally contribute to epistemic injustice literature and announce a future research project that participants might be interested in, including the project to invite Prof. Fricker to Japan in 2024.

Alice Monypenny, “Epistemic Injustice and Character Corruption: How Intellectual vices Can Protect Agency”

Epistemic injustice has a range of negative effects for both individuals and epistemic communities. Especially when it occurs in the context of education, it can lead to what Ian James Kidd calls, the ‘corruption’ of epistemic character. This may occur when students are incentivised to develop ‘protective’ epistemic vices as coping strategies. For example, the development of intellectual servility may allow students to avoid further hostility by conforming to teachers’ or other students’ expectations. In this talk, I examine some of the factors which lead some students to develop vicious rather than virtuous coping strategies, as well as the implications of vicious coping strategies on the development of epistemic agency.

Ben Kotzee, “Epistemic Justice and Freedom of Speech”

In the literature on epistemic justice, the paradigm cases of epistemic injustices tend to be sketched in terms of propositional knowledge. For instance, the paradigm cases of testimonial injustice are cases of people who testify reliably to the truth of some proposition, but are not believed; and the paradigm cases of hermeneutic injustice concern someone's ability to make intellectual sense of a situation given the resources of their culture.

However, it is crucial to notice that propositional knowledge is typically expressed or communicated in language. When a person testifies to something, they usually do so in speech or writing. For instance, Fricker's signal example of testimonial injustice, the fictional case of Marge Percy, involves one person speaking something to another person. Likewise, when a person tries to express their hermeneutic understanding of the world, they do so by speaking or writing about it. For instance, Fricker's signal example of hermeneutical injustice, the real case of Carmita Wood, also concerns someone speaking about something. Indeed, the case of Carmita Wood is a clear example of 'speaking out' about something: that is of speaking openly about something - in this case sexual harassment) that is not normally spoken about.

In this paper, I explore the link between the literature on epistemic justice (that is justice in how people attempt to communicate belief and knowledge to one another) and the literature on freedom of speech (that is, the rights and wrongs involved in saying and writing things generally). I ask after the touchpoints and differences between these two debates and explore whether one can offer a unified conception of epistemic justice and freedom of speech. Using educational examples, I explore whether freedom of speech is in any way a threat to epistemic justice in the classroom; I hold that, properly conceived, epistemic justice and freedom of speech are not a threat to one another, but promote the same goal of the advancement of knowledge.

GWがもうすぐ始まります。

最終日の5月7日（日）13:30～1時間、子どもとの問いづくりワークショップが千葉県習志野市谷津コミュニティセンターで開かれます。

絵本で子どもたちと一緒に問いづくり体験をするだけではなく、マリンバの演奏をきいたり、おもちゃで遊びながら問い体験の時間を共有をしましょう。（問いづくりや哲学が、市民の人々とのcommonsになることを目指している活動です。）絵本を付設の図書館で借りることができるので、当日でも探しに行けます。

参加無料です。GW最終日は、大きな予定を入れずにゆっくりしようと思っている方などいましたら、散歩がてら、あるいは、お買い物の帰りなどにふと立ち寄っていただけたら嬉しいです。

マリンバは、私の母の緑さんが行ってくれます。結婚前までプロとしても活躍していた母。今回、無理を言ってお願いすることができました。マリンバって何？という方も、お時間がありましたら、ぜひその問いをもってご参加ください。

主催には、習志野の海を守る会（佐藤は、NPO法人の副代表をつとめています）。習志野市は、東京湾に面した「茜浜」と呼ばれる海沿いがありながら、テトラポッドの防波堤で子どもたちが安全に楽しく遊べるところがあまりありません。そこで、海辺で安全に、海辺の生き物たちと戯れながら遊べる場所を創ることを目指して活動しています。

千葉大学の立花幸司さんが代表をつとめていらっしゃる科研費（20H01178、基盤B）の後援も受けています（ありがとうございます！）。
