I argue that egalitarian and normic ideals have conceptual limitations when considering this dimension. While egalitarian frameworks advocate for a placeless science, normic frameworks predominantly locate scientific knowledge within the “Global North,” highlighting the importance of including “non-Western” perspectives from the “Global South.” These limitations have negative and unjust epistemic consequences: They risk perpetuating cultural imperialism, reproducing a colonial epistemic norming of space, and committing epistemic exoticization toward scientific communities in subaltern regions.enDiversity (politics)Value (mathematics)SociologyEpistemologyEnvironmental ethicsMathematicsarticle
