Your Definition
A systematic account of how knowledge functions as a social resource, distributed unevenly and hoarded strategically. This theory examines how institutions credentialize some knowers and disqualify others, how knowledge communities form and police their boundaries, how epistemic authority translates into material advantage. It reveals that the "marketplace of ideas" is never a level playing field—some ideas arrive with trust funds, others show up in hand-me-downs. Understanding this theory means understanding that every claim to knowledge is also a claim to power.
