About Epistemic Injustice in Healthcare

 At the Philosophy of Medicine Roundtable, EPIC postdoc Kathleen Murphy-Hollies discusses the case of epistemic injustice being harmful even when the report to be dismissed is false: she consider the importance of the speaker's perspective conveyed in the report of delusional beliefs. 

 At the Philosophy of Medicine Roundtable, project partner Elisabetta Lalumera defends the importance of definitions in medicine, and presents a case of conceptual engineering in the revised definition of pain. 

Jodie Russell discusses work on intersectionality and mental health at the poster session during the Philosophy of Medicine Roundtable. Interesting to see several posters centred on EPIC themes such as epistemic injustice, expertise by experience, and phenomenology of illness.
