“…At this more profound level, the connection between ways of knowing and the exercise of power makes that epistemic justice cannot be seen apart from identities and how politics is conducted upon them. Pandey and Sharma (2021) explore such identity politics: epistemologies and ways of validating and presenting knowledge are tied to people’s identities and whether or not these identities are respected. They discuss examples of how initiatives of participatory decision-making impose specific, hegemonic or otherwise taken-for-granted identities on the participants of the process.…”

“…Not everyone may have the ability to switch between time conceptions and ontologies, certainly when identities depend on it. Identities, in general, can be vital for people’s survival, as in the analysis by Pandey and Sharma (2021). Only those who are sufficiently secure otherwise can afford to switch between temporalities and ontologies.…”

Temporality in epistemic justice

Democracy requires some sort of exchange of knowledge between holders of different knowledge positions. The concept of epistemic justice brings the ability to know and the right to be recognised as a knowledgeable person under a scheme of justice. It problematises social conditions that potentially compromise the ability to share knowledge and thereby effectuate change and the possibility of being recognised as a knowing subject and being granted access to equitable means of producing knowledge. This paper engages with temporal aspects of epistemic justice. What role do temporalities play in people’s possibilities to create knowledge and the way they create knowledge? What role does time play in the valuation and circulation of knowledges? How do hegemonic conceptions of time potentially make some knowledges circulate more freely than others? Since conceptions of time connect to specific forms of knowledge, hierarchies and speakabilities of temporalities form an immediate correlate of hierarchies of knowledge. By extension, such hierarchies feed into schemes of epistemic justice. Thus, democracy’s duty to emancipate suppressed voices requires emancipating the times from which those suppressed voices speak.

“…The connection between time and identity provides a further conceptual clue to understanding the relationship between time and epistemic justice: it further substantiates how knowing is situated in time and depending on dominant timescapes. Pandey and Sharma (2021) and Pandey, Valkenburg, Mamidipudi, and Bijker (2021) provide the example of Indian farmers who are not taken seriously as knowers in a process where significant innovations in their production system are discussed and possibly imposed on them. Their knowledge about the alignment of their agricultural production practice and the broader food supply system is concerned.…”

“…One possible reason is that renewable energy projects are typically complex and planning and implementing such projects requires professional expertise (Ahn et al, 2012;Koirala et al, 2016;F. G. N. Li & Pye, 2018;Sorman et al, 2020), and citizens often lack such expertise which may result in poorer quality decisions (Pandey & Sharma, 2021;Rossi, 1997;Tritter & McCallum, 2006).…”
