An audio recording of the preface to Miranda Fricker's book, Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing. These recordings were made as part of just reading, a reading grxup inviting people working within or in relation to institutions of teaching, learning and research to come together to consider larger realities of knowing through the frame of injustice. 

The aim of just reading is to make room for people to listen, speak, make and be together, creatively and thoughtfully, through acts of reading. The goal is to generate a convivial, inter-institutional culture of imagination and honesty about the lived experiences of injustice in the context of knowledge making and reproduction today. 

just reading takes philosopher Miranda Fricker’s book Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing as a starting point for engaging creatively with images and imaginaries of knowledge and injustice.
