ABSTRACT
Epistemic injustice is, broadly speaking, about ways that members of marginalized groups may be wronged in their capacity as knowers, due to prejudicial stereotypes. Members of marginalized groups are also the main subjects of concern in discussions of implicit bias and stereotype threat. A key concern in discussions of both implicit bias and stereotype threat has been the effects of the phenomena on academic endeavours. It may seem clear, then, what the relationship is between epistemic injustice, implicit bias, and stereotype threat: at first glance, it would appear that implicit bias and stereotype threat are simply varieties of epistemic injustice. This chapter focuses on at Miranda Fricker's two main categories - testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice - exploring how each relates to implicit bias and stereotype threat. It considers the ways that implicit bias and stereotype threat may cause hermeneutical injustice.
