non-dominant hermeneutical marginalization

πŸ“– Definitions

"non-dominant hermeneutical marginalization describes unwarranted epistemic exclusions. Non-dominant marginalization occurs when social groups are able to render their experiences intelligible, but their conceptual resources are not respected by the dominant group" (Goldstein 2022, 1864).

πŸ’‘ Examples

  • "[Carmita] Wood had adequate resources. She could make sense of her social experience, but those resources were not respected by the dominant group" (Goldstein 2022, 1865).
