Abstract:
This commentary evaluates the contributions to this special issue through a feminist lens. It reviews the field of ignorance studies and two distinguishable areas in the field: undone science and ignorance/non-knowledge. It points to ways in which the articles in this special issue engage with the social production of ignorance. It explores feminist roots of ignorance studies, including feminist ignorance epistemologies, identifies strengths and gaps in ignorance studies, and suggests possible lines of future work.
