Project Title: The Transcendental Body as a Site of Production of Epistemic Injustice
My research project is at the intersection between epistemology and the phenomenological approach to corporeality. More specifically, my research aims to explore how the notion of body schema proposed by Merleau-Ponty and Fanon sheds light on the type of epistemic injustices that black people experience.
Supervisor : Aude Bandini
