The Guest editorial for ‘Conceptualizing Justice and Counter-expertise’ by Logan Williams and Sharlissa Moore (2019) brings together different hemispheres, communities, citizenships and cultures. Altogether, the special issue authors demonstrate counter-expertise by working (more or less contentiously from the fringes of traditional science) to respond to, question, and confront the authorities’ arguments. Indeed counter-expertise can be acknowledged as an emerging form of politics. Logan and Sharlissa suggest that this compilation of papers performs an exercise of knowledge justice, which could improve distributive justice in terms of knowledge and practices. Therefore, I will focus in this essay on the possibilities, links and entanglements that may be identified in making justice for counterexpertise and doing counter-expertise for justice. This question is inspired by Zapatista slogans of feminist movements such as ‘Change staying and stay changing’ (Hernández, 2001, p. 218), which reject the allegations about the essentialist and linear use of tradition. This slogan is highly relevant to science and technology studies’ discussion of truth and reality. Finally, I will deliver some concluding remarks on Latin american contributions in this regard.
