Inter-Epistemic Dialogues With Decolonial Studies From Latin America
Mon, April 25, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: South Bulding, Level 3, BalboaSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium opens an inter-epistemic dialogue with decolonial studies in Latin America (LA) to refuse the erasure of Indigenous, Black, and Mestizx thought situated outside of the anglosphere. It promotes intercultural translation to intersect concepts enunciated from diverse spaces/places, bodies, and sites of resistance in LA that assist in the reconceptualization/resignification of curriculum and pedagogy (Santos, 2018). Translation is conceived as a transgressive dialogic act of betrayal against dominant interpretive frameworks. This symposium weaves an ethically/politically entangled network of scholars and intellectual activists from diverse geographies of reason (Gordon, 2011) to contribute conceptually to decolonial studies in education. Ultimately, it intends to open an inter-epistemic space that will foster an ecology of decolonial knowledge practices (Santos, 2009).
