“…These comments suggest the complexity and difficulty of the problem of ignorance The Canadian Geographer / Le G eographe canadien 2017, 61(4): 595-609 and the importance of understanding ignorance. Ignorance as we use it here is not a matter of faulty individual cognition or a collective absence of knowledge yet to be acquired, but an outcome of structural methods of not-knowing deeply linked to significant social inequalities (Mills 1997;Bergin 2002;May 2006;Sullivan and Tuana 2007;Steyn 2012;Schaefli and Godlewska 2014;Zwierlein 2016 Other strong themes that emerged from these and other comments are a dawning realization of the complexity of the issues in Canadian-Indigenous relations and consequent disappointment with the school system. One respondent wrote thoughtfully on the political nature of knowledge and ignorance: ".…”

Ignorance as we use it here is not a matter of faulty individual cognition or a collective absence of knowledge yet to be acquired, but an outcome of structural methods of not‐knowing deeply linked to significant social inequalities (Mills ; Bergin ; May ; Sullivan and Tuana ; Steyn ; Schaefli and Godlewska ; Zwierlein ). Examples of these responses include: I didn't realize how little I knew until I did this test.…”

When invited to identify what they know about Aboriginal people, Memorial students reveal racism and stereotypes, and cannot describe the specificity and diversity of Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
Those able to perform best on our test tend to be less prejudiced.
Although the students perform badly on our test, most consider it a good measure of their knowledge.

“…Europeans back home, especially those who financed voyages of exploration and colonial ventures, would have perceived an increasing risk of failing enterprises, lost money, collapsed investments, and unfulfilled expectations. In this regard, the cultures of speculation were largely about bringing financial risk under control (Bernstein 1996;Zwierlein 2016).…”
Section: 'Discoveries' Conquest and Colonizationmentioning
This article looks into early modern temporal cultures and cultures of speculation, how they evolved with the Renaissance and the Age of European expansion. Not only the development of probability and risk calculation but also genres such as travel narratives and utopian/satirical literatures show how much the period between the fourteenth and the early nineteenth century was about a broad range of forms of speculation. Speculation in the early modern period was about futures that were more than a mere extension of the present but also about speculating on the past, on eternity and untime. With going back into these histories of speculation, I seek to open up horizons of speculation which serve as a speculum for today's cultures of speculation. The varieties and simultaneity of timescapes in the early modern period could thus help critically assess our own times, temporal cultures and modes of speculation and could help produce new possibilities and opportunities for the future - and other related concepts of time.
“…Um dos primeiros a se dedicar a essa temática diretamente talvez tenha sido Robert N. Proctor, responsável por fundar, em 2008, o campo da Agnosology 6 . Desde então, essa área de estudos vem crescendo continuamente, com destaque para "The unknown in process" (GROSS, 2007) e The dark side of knowledge (ZWIERLEIN, 2016).…”
