Epistemic injustice applied to DEI
Epistemic injustice is the harm done to a person in their capacity to know and to be believed. Suzie Mondésir draws on this concept, still rare in management, to understand intersectional under-representation in strategic roles.
A doctoral project at UQAM
Suzie Mondésir is pursuing a PhD in project management at UQAM, supervised by Nancy Aumais, and is a scholarship recipient for the project. Her research complements DEI literature by adding an epistemic-injustice lens.
Why this angle matters
Recognizing each person’s capacity to know and to be believed is the first condition of a truly inclusive organization. This lens gives leaders a way to spot the voices they are not yet hearing.
