We are pleased to send you the call for papers for the special issue "Ignorances in the sciences" of the journal Lato Sensu. The submission deadline is January 31, 2025. Papers can be written in French or in English. In this special issue, we propose to take an epistemological stance at the ways in which ignorance is present in the sciences. It seems to play many roles. It is a social and political construct of the scientific enterprise, a heuristic and driving force in scientific discovery, while possessing an epistemological and conceptual status that distinguishes it from a simple lack of knowledge. This observation of pluralism leads us to question the ignorances in the sciences. We are looking for proposals that explore both a general epistemological framework for ignorance and its epistemological (and even ethical) implications in special sciences. Contributions in the following topics are particularly welcome: Definitions and conceptualisations of scientific ignorance ...

The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) is one of the largest colleges at Alabama State University (ASU). The College, and by extension, the University, offers an expansive array of academic programs that foster critical thinking, first-rate scholarship, and encourage research and artistic creativity. As part of its research and publication agenda, CLASS is inviting ASU faculty members – and faculty members within and outside of Alabama -- to participate in an edited volume that critically interrogates social justice issues. This book will provide scholarly analysis, critique, and discussion of a wide range of contemporary social justice issues in the United States. Although it lacks a precise definition, John T. Jost and Aaron C. Kay (2010) defined social justice as a “state of affairs in which (a) benefits and burdens in society are dispersed in accordance with some allocation principle (or set of principles); (b) procedures, norms, and rules that govern political and...
