What is the characteristic wrong of testimonial injustice?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle (Academic Journal)peer-review

Abstract

In this paper, I aim to identify the wrong that is done by the hearer to the testifier in all cases of testimonial injustice. I introduce the concept of testimonial injustice, as well as the existing accounts of this characteristic wrong, and I argue that the latter don't work. Then I present my favoured account, which adapts Rachel Fraser's account of the wrong of aesthetic injustice. I argue that this allows us to see that certain putative stock examples of testimonial injustices in fact do not fall under the concept.
