Hello young scholars! It's time to dive into the deep waters of knowledge, justice, and politics. We're going to talk about some big, juicy ideas and don't worry, I'll break everything down so it's as tasty as a hamburger at your favorite diner. Let's go!

Can we know what justice is?

Can we, like LeGuin, know what justice is and what it requires? That's a question even grown-ups scratch their heads over. But don't worry, we're going to dissect this!

  • Epistemic justice: This concept is all about fair treatment in the acquisition of knowledge. Imagine being in a group project where only one person gets to decide everything – not very fair, right? That's what happens when some perspectives have more access to a platform, making their voices louder. This might remind you of how some people get more airtime on social media than others.

  • Justice in politics and technology: This comes up in things like social media, filter bubbles, and echo chambers (ever noticed how sometimes your feed is just filled with things you like and agree with?). It’s like always eating only your favorite ice cream flavor and never trying anything new – it might feel good, but you're missing out on a lot of other great flavors!
