Recent scholarship in language studies has exposed how racism and language are intertwined in many domains. Although racism is often understood as individual and institutional injustices, a critical examination of another form of racism—epistemological racism—problematizes how it influences our knowledge production, distribution, and consumption in academe. This presentation discusses how epistemological racism marginalizes the knowledge produced by scholars in the global south, women scholars of color, and other minoritized groups, while compelling these scholars to become complicit with the white male Eurocentric hegemony of knowledge. Alternative worldviews can be offered by decolonizing the dominant epistemology. However, valorizing non-European knowledge still risks essentialism and male hegemony. Conversely, black feminist perspectives emphasize ethical commitment to antiracism. Epistemological antiracism invites scholars to explore alternative theories, change citation practices, and engage in praxis.
