CPOL 4825 Epistemic Responsibility

This course explores a broad range of questions related to epistemic responsibility: What are your ethical and political obligations as knowers? Are there things you ought to know or ought not to know? What is required to become a responsible knower? How do our social and political arrangements affect what we know and what we don’t know, who we believe and who we don’t? How can we improve those arrangements? In exploring possible answers to these questions we will draw from a broad range of theoretical frameworks including feminist epistemology, moral theory, critical race theory, disability theory, trans theory and decolonial theory.
