Pedagogies of Gender Knowledge, Territorializing the Rhizome, and Playing in Knowledge Construction

• In Event: World-Making Feminist Pedagogies and Praxes

Abstract

Constructing academic knowledge in and from the global south is riddled with negotiations of oneself, our collectivities and the demands of productivity. In higher education we bound the category of expert with all the restrictions, pressures, limitations, and demands for publication (Pereira, 2017).Outside of its limits gender knowledge emerges like grass; unpredictable, collective, abundant, and anywhere. Rooted in our activism and concern for the continued colonial consequences of higher education credentialism (Liboiron,2021), we present our explorations with methodological disobedience through creativity and play as a way to evade the limits of expertise and explore how colonialism operates in the production of knowledge born from where we have been cut, the phantom members of the decolonial ghost (Rhee,2020).
