Rebecca Miller and Anthony Pavlo from Yale University School of Medicine apply the concept of epistemic justice to advocate for a system tha

In a new chapter for the book “Recovering the US Mental Healthcare System,” Yale University School of Medicine’s Rebecca Miller and Anthony Pavlo explore the transformative potential of epistemic justice in moving mental healthcare systems past traditional medical models. The authors delve into the critical psychiatry movements of deinstitutionalization and deprescribing, advocating for a framework where service users’ voices are not just heard but are central to treatment and policy-making processes.

“Epistemic injustice refers to denoting some perspectives as less valuable than others based on some characteristic of the person holding this perspective, effectively silencing some voices,” Miller and Pavlo write. “Furthermore, epistemic injustices diminish one’s agency, as the act of creating and sharing knowledge is one aspect of power, and through the means of discrediting one’s stories, one’s power is compromised, and they become delegitimized.”

Using this concept, they examine social justice issues in the mental healthcare system and outline psychiatry’s history of “excluding certain voices and privileging others.” They conclude with future directions towards epistemic justice, which would respect people receiving services as experts on their own lived experiences.

If Ned hadn't died/could have avoided the War of the Five Kings, do you think he would have ever legitimized Jon, especially if Jon hadn't joined the Watch? I think he might have, but not while Cat was alive.

I really don’t think Ned would have ever legitimized Jon. Legitimizing a bastard is not an ordinary process; there are dozens of highborn bastards across Westeros, but there is almost never a reason to legitimize any of them. If a man has trueborn heirs, a legitimized bastard is merely a nuisance, a troubling rival to the claims of the trueborn line. Ned has three trueborn sons, two daughters, and a wife who is openly distrustful of his bastard son. If he asked Robert to legitimize Jon, it would not only bring more, royal attention on the boy - something Ned, who holds a colossal secret about him, absolutely does not want - but would place Jon on near-equal footing with her own children in claiming Winterfell; indeed, between a daughter of Catelyn and a (legitimated bastard) son of Ned, lords may very well be torn about whom to support. Ned has already profoundly hurt Catelyn by playing up the lie that Jon is his son and keeping him at Winterfell; could he really bring himself to push that hurt farther by leveling Jon up to the same status as their own children? He had already done more for Jon than would be expected - raising him in Winterfell, giving him the same lessons and training as his trueborn children. He treated Jon as a member of the family; legitimization would not have changed that process, and would have only brought hurt and unwelcome focus on an already trying situation.

Do your think if Robert had legimtized Edric Storm and recognized him as an official baratheon do you think would that had been enough to unite Stannis and Renly and fight the lannisters together?

No, I think if Edric Storm was legitimized that would anger both Stannis and Renly, since it threatens their ascension.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

It's official again! I still have crohns! On the one hand, duuuude that sucks and it will suck for the rest of my life. On the other hand- knowing what's wrong with me still feels like having the upper hand? After so many years of terrible and inaccurate diagnoses, it feels kinda nice to have a second, and perhaps more legit-feeling doctor, say "YUP. It's Crohns" and also "Here, have some pain meds" without me having to feel like a crazy drug hound.

King Hatshepsut – Legitimation through images

King Hatshepsut - who reigned during the New Kingdom in Egypt alongside Thutmose III - was one of the most unusual rulers of Ancient Egypt: Hatshepsut was a woman. At first she acted as queen regnant for her nephew Thutmose III who was only about 2 to 3 years old when he ascended the throne in 1479.[1] Later, probably in the seventh year of his reign, she assumed the throne herself – making Thutmose her Co-Regent. Von Beckerath lists her reign as Maat-ka-re from 14979/73 until 1458/1457.[2] Even though she had female predecessors who also were regnants for underage kings, not one of them took the role of the official king.[3] It is, however, noteworthy that probably half of the 70 years preceding her were ruled by women. This would have led to a general acceptance of female influence or even rule over the country.

Hatshepsut achieved legitimation by adopting the traditional iconography, ideology and social conventions of the Egyptian kings.[4] Her depictions conform to the standard for the kings of Egypt in general. She is frequently shown as a young, fit man wearing an apron and a crown. Only the inscriptions bear witness to her actual gender and usually refer to her as „she“.[5] Even the typical, 5 part titulary that she assumed usually incorporates the female suffix „.t“.

Using traditional imagery further strengthened her status as king; her statuary regularly incorporates older forms, e.g. the mane sphinx which was used during the Old Kingdom.[6] She also had more statues of herself made than any other king of the 18th dynasty: In Deir el-Bahari alone more than 200 statues were found. An integral point of her ideology was the „birth myth“ of the Egyptian kings which can be traced back to the Old Kingdom;[7] she had it carved into relief at her temple at Deir el-Bahri and is the first king doing so. It makes her „Amun's daughter“ which she emphasized again in the depictions and inscriptions of the „Chapelle Rouge“, a barque sanctuary in the temple of Amun in Karnak.[8] One of its features is the „Texte historique“ on the walls of the chapel. It usually refers to her as female and only uses male pronouns when her kingship is mentioned. Karin Stephan proposes, that this is a sign for a destinction between office (male) and person (female). [9] Furthermore, Hatshepsut's merits are emphasized as the king would have had to re-instate Maat (~order) to prove his worth.[10] She achieves this – at least symbolically – by being shown as performing rituals for the gods and smiting her enemies. When she is shown with Thutmose III by her side he usually follows her, taking the usual place of the younger co-regent.[11]

In conclusion, one could say that Hatshepsut was an unconventional king who used conventional imagery and text to legitimize her claim to the throne.
