Lex Academic® Essay Prize Winners
We are delighted to announce that the winning paper of the Lex Academic® Essay Prize, in association with Philosophical Psychology‘s Special Issue “Understanding Bias” is ‘Linguistic justice in academic philosophy: The rise of English and the unjust distribution of epistemic goods’ by Peter Finocchiaro and Timothy Perrine.
The paper appeals to the concept of epistemic injustice to frame the challenges of linguistic injustice within contemporary academic philosophy. Utilising an insightful range of powerful and engaging vignettes, Finocchiaro and Perrine proceed to outline and evaluate number of substantial constructive solutions to the problem.
The panel unanimously agreed that the work was remarkably original, thoroughly grounded in the relevant literature, and of serious interest and significance beyond the academy. Our deepest congratulations to the authors!
