Abstrakt

Transdisciplinary research practice challenges in its core two intrinsic assumptions of academic knowledge production: first, that scientific knowledge is neutral and objective, and second, that science is on top of the hierarchy between different sorts of knowledges. This session introduces thoughts from postcolonial and feminist authors who address science as relations of power and domination, but which are conspicuously missing in transdisciplinary literature. This session therefore introduces the concepts of othering, epistemic violence and colonizing discourse,as well as situated knowledges and standpoint theory. It further proposes reflexive positionality as a strategy to navigate through research and the pitfalls of producing knowledge within multiple societal hierarchies.
