The Pink Dumbbell Problem

Agnotology

While researching & writing The Pink Dumbbell Problem: A Feminist Analysis of Gender-Specific Fitness Myths Terri came across a (relatively) new branch of philosophy called Agnotology.

The name comes from "a-gnosis", i.e. the absence of knowledge or knowing. In other words, agnotology is the study of ignorance. More specifically, it is the study of how knowledge is gate-kept, particularly from certain segments of society. Agnotology challenges the idea that "common knowledge" is either common or knowledge.
