dr. seunghyun song
assistant professor
Seunghyun Song is an assistant professor at Tilburg University, and is the co-founder and an active member of Linguistic Justice Society. Before assuming her post, she was at KU Leuven, where she completed her PhD and held an FWO junior postdoc mandate. Her main area of expertise is in linguistic justice, epistemic justice, intergenerational justice and hate speech. She has published in leading philosophical journals, such as Philosophical Studies, Social Epistemology, and Metaphilosophy. She is currently writing two co-authored books, one on Linguistic Justice and AI and another on Epistemic Injustice and Reparations, under contract with Cambridge University Press.
Expertise
Seunghyun works on three things, broadly speaking:
1. language-based injustices (accent bias, hate speech)
2. knowledge-based injustices (epistemicide, denialism)
3. injustices that last across time (slavery, colonialism).
These topics often intersect, such as Seunghyun's works in rape denialism that last across generations. These days, Seunghyun is looking into how state-of-the-art technology (specifically, LLMs) serves as an amplifier of such injustices.
