LONG CITATION
Lorraine Code's originality and creativity in relating theories of knowledge to the moral/political location of actual knowers have been foundational for epistemology, and especially for feminist theory. Her pioneering approaches to the social and material interrelations of knowledge are now applied in a wide range of humanities and social science disciplines, as well as in areas of medicine and law. Going beyond critique, she has offered increasingly rich models of how knowers take responsibility for what they can, and do, actually know. Her leadership is evident in her scholarly books, reference works, and text books.
