Authority is constructed and contextual. 5 minute video from Nell McCabe of Berkshire Community College
The host of this video discusses how our ideas of "authoritative" information are socially constructed, and highly contextual. Sometimes we are put under the impression that only "peer-reviewed", "scholarly" or "academic" sources are authoritative. Ideas of authority are heavily influenced by dominant cultures and institutionalized racism, sexism, ageism, abelism, classism and more. Starting to notice and think about how we privilege information and who is considered an authority within our communities.
