DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture\, "Alleviating Epistemic Injustice: Strat
 egies From Science and Values\," by Kevin Elliott. The concept of epistemi
 c injustice is a powerful tool for characterizing the experiences of those
  who strive to address environmental health threats in their communities b
 ut who are illegitimately dismissed by experts as being ignorant or misinf
 ormed. This talk explores how philosophers can potentially contribute to u
 nderstanding and alleviating these epistemic injustices by drawing from th
 e literature on science and values\, which highlights scientific choices t
 hat experts and community members can reasonably handle in different ways.
  The talk focuses on several specific kinds of scientific choices\, includ
 ing choices about background assumptions\, research questions and standard
 s of evidence. The talk concludes by arguing that philosophers should care
 fully consider whether particular forms of engaged scholarship with scient
 ists and/or community members would enable them to draw on these insights 
 from the science-and-values literature in the most effective and ethically
  responsible ways.
