The stakes of situated knowledges

<br/><br/> This commentary explores the politics of Dragos Simandan’s (2019) proposal to expand the concept of situated knowledge beyond social difference. I argue that while an expanded conception of situated knowledges is welcome, Simandan’s focus on de-politicized instances of situated knowledge ends up blunting the theory’s critical edge. Any attempt to expand situated knowledge beyond social difference must ensure that we do not lose sight of the ways that our embodied positions within fields of power affect the production of knowledge.
