Knowledge Justice - the notion that the acquisition and possession of certain forms of knowledge can be issues of justice.
Knowledge Equality recognizes the disparities of access to and possession of knowledge(s) that can have significant personal and social repercussions. These disparities differ across nations and between stratified groups.
Knowledge is akin to monetary wealth and can be understood with the same mental models some use to speak of wealth inequalities such as the 99%/1% discourse. Knowledges, however, cannot be as easily quantified as money and therefore knowledge inequality is not only a difficult problem to discuss, but it is also a deceptively powerful and pervasive.
