“…Second, in addition to being insufficient solutions, individual remedies are also inappropriate solutions to structural forms of injustice. The inappropriateness of individual remedies for white ignorance may be established by juxtaposing the backward-looking nature of culpability ascriptions of agent-centered theories with the presumed lack of control over and ignorance regarding one's actions that perpetrators of epistemic injustices often exhibit (Piovarchy, 2021). Such arguments no doubt recognize that the structural explanations invoked to connect the covert spread of racial biases through socialization to the unintentional actions of white ignorant agents mitigate or eliminate culpability, even as regards agent-centered theories.…”

While white ignorance is primarily produced and reproduced through social-structural processes, philosophy of education scholarship has focused on agent-centered educational solutions. This article argues that agent-centered solutions are ineffective and that education for disrupting white ignorance must be structure-centered. Specifically, the article contends that (1) social-structural processes often render being in a state of white ignorance reasonable and that (2) assigning white ignorant agents individual responsibility for overcoming their ignorance is often unreasonable. Consequently, epistemic virtue-based approaches to education are insufficient and inappropriate. Instead, the author proposes prioritizing political forms of education. This includes educating students on how to participate in political action and using political action to educate the public.

The myth of gender neutrality in family court: A clinician's perspective on determinations of “the best interest of the child”

Misogyny is a universal prejudice against women manifest in all areas of society. To interrogate the nature of this prejudice, the author uses the family court system as her focus. The myth of gender neutrality in family court is pervasive. Current laws are framed around the assumption that both parents are on a level playing field. The reality is that our legal system is biased against mothers. This often reveals itself in the way courts make determinations of “the best interests of the child”. Family court is a microcosm of societal attitudes about parents, especially mothers, and related beliefs about what protects children. A brief review of family law and the “best interest” standard follows as well as a review of what we know and do not know about what is protective for children. The author reviews the problems inherent in family law and mental health training and practice—forensic and clinical. Although mandated to protect children, family court decisions sometimes have the opposite impact, and at times, even endangering the most protective parent and the child. This occurs mainly by devaluing the caretaking role while requiring the more responsible parent to facilitate the other parent's relationship with the child—regardless of the impact on her and the child. There are many reasons for this, but the basic one is the misogyny built into this system. This essay describes how social science research, psychological theory, and developmental principles are misused by both the legal and mental health professions to that end.

“…3 See Husak (2016) 4 See Fricker (2016) and Piovarchy (2021). For others who have defended the view that ignorance can serve as a legitimate excuse, either eliminating or greatly reducing a person's blameworthiness for moral and legal transgressions, see Baron (2016), Fischer and Ravizza (1998), Kelly (2012), and Peels (2014).…”

Knowledge, true belief, and the gradability of ignorance

Given the significant exculpatory power that ignorance has when it comes to moral, legal, and epistemic transgressions, it is important to have an accurate understanding of the concept of ignorance. According to the Standard View of factual ignorance, a person is ignorant that p whenever they do not know that p, while on the New View, a person is ignorant that p whenever they do not truly believe that p. On their own though, neither of these accounts explains how ignorance can often be a degreed notion -how we can sometimes be slightly ignorant, quite ignorant, or completely ignorant that p. In this paper, I will argue that there is a route for advocates of the Standard View and the New View to accommodate the gradability of ignorance. On the view I defend, 'ignorant' picks out everyone that is ignorant to some degree, making it possible that ignorance can be both degreed and characterized as a lack of knowledge or true belief. Even though we can be ignorant to a greater or lesser extent, the only way to avoid being ignorant that p is to know or truly believe.
