知识生产的政治是复杂的,多维的,并且经常有争议(Nowotny等,2003)。这不是一个新现象。研究人员已经探索了多年来知识生产的认识论条件(影响研究的过程和产物)(Hall and Tandon,2017; Facer and Pahl,2017; Rasool,2017; Rasool,2017; Rasool,2017; Tandon and Hall,2014; Nowotny et al。,2003,2001,2001; Gibbons et al。,1994年)。在本文中,我们以案例研究的形式探讨了这些不断变化的认识论条件的例子,该案例研究解决了全球南方的巨大健康问题:疟疾。In so doing, we combine ideas drawn from philosophy (‘epistemic injustice'; Fricker, 2007), critical theory (‘epistemicide'; de Sousa Santos, 2007, 2018) and practical approaches (‘engaged research design'; Holliman et al., 2017) with Indigenous knowledge to promote ‘fairness in knowing' (Medvecky, 2018).
