On April 6, 2023, the Europe and World Center at the University of Liverpool hosted the inaugural Early Career Researcher Workshop, themed "Feminist Epistemic Justice in the EU and Beyond." Held in the historic Arthur West rooms at 8-11 Abercromby Square, the event kicked off with a warm welcome from Özge Zihnioğlu, who introduced the day's focus on challenging traditional epistemologies through feminist perspectives.
The workshop began with an insightful session by Rahime Süleymanoğlu-Kürüm from Bahçeşehir University, discussing epistemic injustice and the decolonial framework, enriched by active participant feedback. After a nourishing lunch, the afternoon featured presentations from Amal Abu-Bakare and Özge Zihnioğlu, each sharing their research plans and sparking thoughtful discussions.
Melis Cin from the University of Lancaster and Miriam Mona Mukalazi continued the dialogue with their respective presentations, further exploring feminist epistemic themes. The workshop reached its culmination in a collective discussion about the potential journal publications and the establishment of timelines for future collaboration, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing feminist epistemic justice.
The workshop facilitated both in-person and virtual participation, ensuring a broad and inclusive platform for debate. It successfully highlighted the FEJUST Jean Monnet Chair’s dedication to advancing scholarship in feminist epistemic justice, with the support of the European Commission.
