Testimonial Injustice, Stereotypes and Evidentialism (working title)

My research work focuses on epistemic injustices, the epistemology of stereotypes and their relations with other epistemological debates. More precisely, I try to develop novel understandings of testimonial injustice and stereotypes that focus on first-person perspectives and belief acquisition based on evidence. I build and defend an acquisitionalist, evidentialist and internalist view of stereotypes.
