In this lecture we look at contributions from postcolonial/feminist studies in thinking about race and gender as key categories in the hierarchies of knowledge production and dissemination. Whose knowledge counts? How does power become knowledge? How can we attain epistemic freedom to reimagine a world of equality and justice and why does it matter?
