desCom discusses political and epistemological challenges at a meeting

The research project Subaltern Epistemologies and Communication – desCom holds the next study meeting, with the theme Intellectuals and non-colonial knowledge in academia: political and epistemological challenges, this Wednesday, 25th. The action takes place at 9:30 am, in Room D1 of Classroom Sector II, open to the university and external community.
At the meeting, undergraduate students from the Department of Psychology and a doctoral researcher from the Postgraduate Program in Media Studies (PPgEM) will reflect on the concept of intellectual in the light of epistemologies subalternized by the colonial matrix of knowledge production and on the role of intellectuals and non-colonial knowledge in promoting an ecology of knowledge in academic spaces. After the presentation, a discussion will be held based on the reflections presented.
The books that will be discussed at the meeting are available in the desCom project folder on Google Drive. For those interested, the event coordination advises prior reading of the texts, although it is not a mandatory condition for participating in the debate.
