Personal Experience - Tallyne Vasconcelos Souza Gomes

Summary of podcast:

In this podcast, I will discuss my experience in reading John Rawls, a well-known philosopher in the liberal tradition, with a decolonial perspective. My aim is to show that what he calls justice, fairness, and equality actually only serves a few people, and allows for the perpetuation of epistemic oppression, that is: the exclusion of a great part of the population from producing and engaging with knowledge.

Why I created a podcast:

I wanted the outcome of my research to be something more relatable and approachable than an academic paper. I wanted people outside of philosophy to be interested in discussing philosophy and issues of social justice. That is also one of the reasons why I added a personal touch to the podcast and shared information about my personal life.
