What should we do as intellectual activists? : a comment on the ethico-political in knowledge production

Lundberg, Anna LU orcid (2021) p.247-258
Abstract (Swedish)
This research comment makes an argument on the need to develop epistemic communities of belonging. These are spaces facilitating conversations about and enabling transformative ethico-political research. A research practice that can invoke attentiveness, responsibility, curiosity, and awareness to the field we study. Rather than answering what we should do as intellectual activists to maintain ethically integrity, the author here investigates the spaces we may develop as intellectual activists. Based on her work in the transformative collective initiative, the Asylum Commission and the reading of the Caring for Big Data book, the author proposes two concepts that are valuable for the creation of such spaces: epistemic injustice and hope.
