Abstract

In this paper I argue that Fricker's influential account of testimonial injustice (hereafter 'TI') should be expanded to include cases of TI from mutually neutralising countervailing prejudices. In this kind of case, the hearer is given due credibility by the speaker. I describe a relevant case, defend it from objections, highlight how it differs from extant cases of due-credibility TI and describe its distinctive features. This case demonstrates how paying attention to the way multiple prejudices operate in concert leads to expanding the repertoire of cases of TI and casts light on the harms of TI.
