Summary/Abstract: This article examines how the idea of ‘slow science’ (which privileges quality of research and the formative role of teaching and of conducting scientific research) correlates with the question of epistemic justice and the future-oriented prefigurative humanities. Domańska argues that epistemic justice should be recognized as both a directive that steers research undertaken in this framework, and as a tool in the construction of realistic and responsible utopias, whose prototypes the ‘New Humanities’ are trying to find in art, literature, film, etc. The notion of such a utopia being a repeatable solution to a scientific problem can become a research method characteristic of the ‘New Humanities’.
