Epistemic injustice means disadvantaging a person's or a group's knowing. There's a lot written about the social and political consequences of denigrating someone's knowing, but let's stop and think about the direct harm of having your experiences, and the meaning you give to your experiences, shushed or some cousin of mansplained. That has happened to all of us in this culture; we have been shushed about our inner knowing. We have been discouraged about bearing witness to ourselves. What we sense outwardly is suspect and what we sense inwardly is of even lower order than that. We have been taught not to know our own bodies. We don't know the ankles. The clavicle, the tongue. (Do you know where your tongue attaches? Do you know from feeling it?) When we denigrate 'subjective data,' or disregard even the existence of interoceptive senses, when we stop bearing witness to our own selves, that's a tremendous wound. But it is also a tremendous opportunity, because these senses respond very well to reclamation. They do not bear a grudge. They are still there.
