Cognitive Justice is a theory proposed by philosopher Deepti Sachdeva to explore the implications of cognitively diverse forms of knowledge production in different contexts. As a concept, it bridges the gap between cognitive diversity and cognitive justice by recognizing that certain forms of knowledge and knowing are not accessible to certain communities and individuals due to unjust and oppressive structures. Cognitive justice claims that all forms of knowledge should be respected, valued, and given a platform, regardless of their source. As an inclusive approach to knowledge production, it seeks to transform the structures of oppression to create a more equitable and just world for all.
