Concept information
Preferred term
situated knowledge
Definition
- A growing consensus in the social sciences and humanities regards knowledge as inescapably situated within the broader spatial, temporal, sociocultural, and political economic contexts. This view has contributed to a rejection of logical positivist science as the only legitimate source of knowledge and has fostered acceptance of the idea that multiple epistemologies, or ways of knowing the world, are valid.
