Increasingly it is a target of criticism for the way in which it reinforces systemic biases in power, reduces diversity, and excludes many participants from the processes of scholarship. In this chapter I argue that in the context of post- colonial and tra…[Read more]

They are grounded in a specific situation or community. Where they seek to use such a grounding to approach a concept of general or objective knowledge they tend to either be unsatisfying in philosophical depth, or to turn on questions of the relative power of groups.

The standard approach builds on market failure in the private production (by research scholars) of a public good (new scholarly knowledge). In that model publishing is communication, as the dissemination of inf…[Read more]
