Description: This book discusses the ways care ethics contributes to the decentering of dominant epistemologies and to the challenging of privilege, and considers how to decenter care ethics itself via an encounter with non-Western philosophical traditions and alternative epistemologies. Written by scholars from different countries, disciplines and intellectual traditions, the volume offers original care ethics contributions on epistemic injustice, privileged irresponsibility, ecofeminism, settler colonialism, social movements such as BLM, and on various racialized and gendered inequities tied to care work.
Review Quotes: "Decentering Epistemologies and Challenging Privilege is destined to be the gold standard in care epistemology. The book delivers on its promise to "decenter" epistemology by engaging positions of non-white, non-male, and non-Western thinkers. The insights are fresh and advance feminist epistemological scholarship."--Maurice Hamington "author of Revolutionary Care: Commitment and Ethos"
