Recognising poor black youth from rural communities in South Africa as epistemic contributors

In South Africa, students who are poor, black and come from rural communities with poorly resourced schools are vulnerable to being victims of epistemic injustice. This is because they are usually seen as under-appreciated knowers who have low (English) language proficiency and deficits in academic literacy. In an attempt to provide a nuanced characterisation of youth from rural areas, this paper reflects on one student's life-history interviews and his photo-story that form part of data collected since 2017 for Miratho-a project on achieved higher education learning outcomes for low-income university students. The paper uses a capabilities approach as an interpretive framework for the qualitative data and theorises that students' linguistic capital and narrative capital are epistemic materials that can be mobilised into the 'capability for epistemic contribution' as conceptualised by Miranda Fricker. The paper thus makes a case for higher education researchers and educators to recognise poor black youth from rural communities as both givers and takers of knowledge or 'epistemic contributors'. It argues that doing so constitutes an ethical response to the structural inequalities that limit equitable university access and participation for youth in this demographic.

It appears that an almost unquestioned development pathway for achieving gender equity and women's empowerment has taken centre stage in mainstream development. This pathway focuses on economic outcomes that are assumed to be achieved by increasing women's access to material things, including cash income, loans, physical assets, and to markets. Gender equity indicators, which measure progress towards these outcomes, cannot escape reinforcing them. We argue that far from being neutral, indicators are embedded in political and ideological agendas that serve as guides to the appropriate conduct of those whose performance or behaviour is being measured. Drawing on participatory feminist, diverse economies and strengths based approaches, we outline a research methodology for developing community-based indicators that recognises women's and men's participation and relationships in all spheres of life, including the 'non-economic'. If indicators are grounded in local meanings and realities, we propose that community members can use them to identify aspirational goals for gender equity, and measure progress towards these goals.

“…the "white man"). Local people tend to see project people as ''bearers of resources and funds that could be locally leveraged'' (Mikhailovich et al, 2015). Learning the local language offers the opportunity to move closer to the cultural identity of research participants and therefore slide into the insider status.…”

“…It enabled to establish trust and mutual respect for a collaborative and collegiate participation process (Cornwall and Jewkes, 1995), by promoting open dialogue and reflection (Mikhailovich et al, 2015). A European in Southern Mali is definitely an "outsider" (typically referred to in Bamanan as "Toubabou", i.e.…”

“…The use of visuals (drawings and representational diagrams) has been found to make research results more accessible (Tittonell et al, 2008), encourage reflection and help build trust relationships (Mikhailovich et al, 2015;Pain, 2012;Scheer, 1996). This trust between farmers and technology promoters is a crucial prerequisite for potential adoption (Eidt et al, 2012).To make the abstract concept of trade-offs more accessible, we made use of a game-based approach with one board representing the current farmer's cropland (Figure 3 Figure 3).…”
