Bystander Omissions and Accountability for Testimonial Injustice.

Literature on testimonial injustice and ways that perpetrators might combat it have flourished since Miranda Fricker's ground-breaking work on testimonial injustice. Less attention has been given, however, to the role of bystanders. In this paper, I examine the accountability that bystanders may hav...

      ab: Literature on testimonial injustice and ways that perpetrators might combat it have flourished since Miranda Fricker's ground-breaking work on testimonial injustice. Less attention has been given, however, to the role of bystanders. In this paper, I examine the accountability that bystanders may have for their omissions to redress testimonial injustice. I argue that bystander accountability applies in cases where it is opportune for bystanders to intervene, and if they are also sufficiently equipped and able to redress the testimonial injustice. Moreover, I recommend that we move beyond virtue responsibilism for ameliorative thinking about testimonial injustice.
