Title: Accounting Scholarship and the Majority World: A Case of Epistemic Injustices
Abstract
This paper draws inspiration from Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s 1988 work, "Can the Subaltern Speak," and Miranda Fricker's concept of epistemic injustice (Fricker, 2007). Epistemic Injustice involves exclusion, silencing, and undervaluing contributions (James et al., 2017). Within the realm of accounting scholarship, this paper aims to elucidate pervasive issues related to knowledge production, utilization, and dissemination, many of which often go unnoticed. I will illustrate how prevalent practices in academia and policy recommendations are tainted by epistemic wrongs, contributing to or worsening instances of epistemic injustice.
