Current research project: Epistemic Injustice in Organizations – A Scoping Review

In this study, we aim to synthesize and analyze the existing literature on epistemic injustice (Fricker, 2007) across individual and organizational levels in a rigorous manner (Arksey and O’Malley, 2005; Tricco et al., 2018). By ‘piecing together a coherent set of insights from a plurality of individual studies’ (Patriotta, 2020: 1273), this study enables us to develop a conceptual framework of epistemic injustice in organizations that seeks to guide future research.
