Epistemic Justice in Online Spaces: using structural features of the internet to counter epistemic threat.

当我作为认知主体的能力因为我的社会身份而被削弱时，就会出现认知不公正。目前的哲学文献表明，互联网主要促进了不良的认知实践（例如在线回声室）和相关的认知不公正。然而，有证据表明，互联网也具有认知优势——例如，为边缘化的声音提供了一个平台。到目前为止，还没有对互联网如何成功地促进认知正义进行调查。通过对互联网结构特征的系统分析，本研究将展示互联网如何作为促进认知正义的有效工具

Epistemic injustice occurs when my capacity as a knowing agent is undermined because of my social identity. Current philosophical literature suggests the internet primarily facilitates poor epistemic practices (e.g. online echo chambers) and associated epistemic injustice. However, evidence suggests the internet also carries epistemic advantages - e.g. offering a platform for marginalised voices. To date, no investigation has been carried into how the internet might successfully facilitate epistemic justice. Through a systematic analysis of structural features of the internet, this study will show how the internet has and can be used as an effective tool for fostering epistemic justice
