| Notes | 'These can be social theories of ignorance:\n2.) \"Ignorance as emergent, constructed, and imposed: Accounts of how ignorance and uncertainty are constructed, imposed, and manipulated by agents. These accounts treat ignorance as at least partly socially constructed. In some cases, ignorance is deliberately or intentionally constructed, whereas in others it emerges as a by-product of some social process. Either way, these can be genuinely social theories of ignorance.\" (214)\n4.) Managing ignorance: Accounts of how people think about ignorance or uncertainty and how they act on it. The distinction between this kind of account and (2) is admittedly fuzzy. Accounts in (2) tend to emphasize the notion that the construction and distribution of knowledge and ignorance are implicated in power relations. Accounts that fall in this fourth category place greater emphasis on individual agency, the micro-level, focusing on how people conceptualize, represent, negotiate, and respond to ignorance.\" (215)\nNot social theories of ignorance: how people think/act under ignorance. How people encounter ignorance.\n - mcdevl2'
