knowledges
Bodies of expertise
Knowledges is the plural of knowledge, used when emphasizing distinct bodies or types of knowledge rather than knowledge as a mass concept.
Academic and postcolonial discourse often employs it to recognize multiple ways of knowing: Indigenous knowledges offer perspectives that Western science has overlooked.
Outside such contexts, knowledge typically remains uncountable.
