Abstract
ABSTRACT Inclusiveness is a key theme in scholarship on Responsible Innovation (RI) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). RI/RRI researchers make a strong case for involving stakeholders into science and innovation processes. What they hitherto do not discuss is how to make science internally more inclusive and tackle barriers that prevent marginalised scholars from participating in knowledge production and societal meaning-making. With this Perspective essay, I attempt to open up thinking about inclusiveness in the context of RI/RRI by linking the discourses with scholarship on inequality and epistemic injustice in science. Critical philosophers, STS, feminist and post-colonial scholars concerned with these topics shed light on mechanisms of social and epistemic exclusion experienced by scientists and non-scientists alike. I argue that it is time to start an interdisciplinary conversation and consider an inward dimension of responsible research: a collective duty to care for diversity and address inequalities within the scientific field.
