Epistemic Justice in Therapy: Knowledge, Power and Voice, A TaSC Seminar with Nicola Blunden

This seminar explores the concept of epistemic justice in therapy—how knowledge, power, and voice influence therapeutic relationships, and vice versa. Nicola will describe the ways dominant narratives, implicit biases, coloniality, and institutional structures can create epistemic injustices, particularly for minoritised and marginalised clients. She will unpack how as therapists we can recognise and challenge these injustices by responding to clients as credible knowers of their own experiences, and by advocating for the validity of lived experience knowledge. Through a combination of theoretical discussion and reflective exercises, attendees will learn how to integrate epistemic justice into their therapeutic practice, ensuring that clients’ voices are heard, respected, and centred in ways that align with ethical and anti-oppressive frameworks.
