This blog post by Marina Cadaval and Rosalba Icaza on epistemic diversity in universities is the first in a series of posts on the topic of Diversity in Research.

This post—the first of a series on epistemic diversity— introduces the topic and illustrates the importance of discussions on the political economy of knowledge production taking place in our universities.
