Discussing epistemic injustice: expertise at trial and feminist science

The paper discusses the notion of epistemic injustice, with specific reference to gender injustice, which arose within the studies of social epistemology, testing its potential applications in the judicial field. In particular, scientific evidence could, if used by the judge with a deferential attitude, generate hypotheses of epistemic injustice, both at the stage of the formation of scientific knowledge mobilized in court and in its use.
