Engaged Scholarship, Epistemic Justice and Societal Change
Halleh Ghorashi
VU, Netherlands, The
In this keynote I will discuss how my understanding of engaged scholarship has evolved throughout my academic journey. I will show the importance of critical theory and feminist epistemology in approaching engaged scholarship from a transformative angle. Then I will zoom in further in discussing the ingredients of transformative engaged scholarship with the link to epistemic justice and inclusoin of various forms of knowledge. The aim of such scholarship is then to co-generate societal change together with societal actors towards inclusion on meso and macro level. I will present some examples from our research within expertise lab: Refugee Academy at the VU to elaborate further on the importance of such form of engaged scholarship for academia, for society and for refugees.
