Justice as Knowledge Integration

Sor Juana's intellectual project integrated theology, science, indigenous wisdom, and poetic truth-telling into a coherent vision of justice that recognized multiple ways of knowing. Justice as knowledge integration challenges the false neutrality of systems that privilege certain epistemologies while delegitimizing others. In intersectional practice, this concept means that real justice requires understanding issues from multiple perspectives simultaneously: economic, spiritual, historical, relational, embodied. It rejects the false objectivity of dominant institutions that claim neutrality while systematically silencing certain voices and knowledge forms. Practitioners use this framework to identify whose perspectives are missing from discussions of justice, which knowledge systems have been excluded, and how integration reveals the inadequacy of dominant solutions. This approach recognizes that people closest to injustice often hold essential knowledge about its repair.
