Dr Miranda Fricker (Iso-Brittanian):
"Identity Power and the Economy of Credibility"
Miranda Fricker is Senior Lecturer in the School of Philosophy. She did her DPhil at the University of Oxford (1996), moving to the University of London to take up a Jacobsen Research Fellowship and then a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her main areas of interest are in ethics, epistemology, and in those regions of feminist philosophy that concern social identity, power, and the authority of reason. Her book, Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing (OUP, 2007), explores how relations of social power and identity impinge in our epistemic practices to produce distinctively epistemic forms of injustice—injustices in which someone is undermined specifically in their capacity as a knower. She co-edited The Cambridge Companion to Feminism in Philosophy with Jennifer Hornsby (2000); and she is co-author of Reading Ethics, co-written with Sam Guttenplan, an introductory textbook giving interactive commentaries on classic texts in moral philosophy (forthcoming, Blackwell, 2008). Most recently her work has focussed on the significance of situating our epistemic practices, including moral epistemic practices, in time - both real time, and the semi-fictional time of genealogical explanation.
