The Meaningful Inquiry team at Ohio State, USA has organised a free webinar Reconstructing the Academy: Transforming Our Teaching and Research Practices through Epistemic Justice on 7 November 2024, at 12:00-1:00 pm (US Eastern time, which is e.g. 17.00-18.00 UK time  GMT). 
Speakers are: Heather Campbell and Ashley McKeown. "This workshop invites faculty and librarians to explore the concept of epistemic justice, a practice that demands equal respect for diverse knowledge systems, decentering Euro-westernized academic research. While many diversity and inclusion initiatives focus on representation, epistemic justice goes deeper, asking us to rethink who we consider knowledgeable and why. Together, we will explore pragmatic tools for embedding an epistemic justice lens into undergraduate and graduate curricula, and how we might redefine approaches to knowledge creation."
