The production of knowledge in psychology from the experiences of diasporic black women. Theoretical-methodological aspects

Abstract

Based on the experiences of black women, we problematize theoretical and methodological aspects of the production of scientific knowledge in psychology, in order to face gendered racism and epistemicide. We take as an analytical basis two researches in which the experiences of black diasporic women are central to understanding the dynamics of oppression. We argue against theoretical and methodological models based on a scientific rationality that produces a universalizing humanity with a Eurocentric matrix, which is based on colonized, exclusionary and genocidal notions. knowledge production. We share with the dialogue and articulation of black and decolonial voices, other possible paths for psi scientific praxis in which marginalized bodies, voices and writings act as beacons to lead quizumbas and chaos that foster criticality, creativity and new theoretical and methodological insurgencies, aiming at transform science in order to destroy its walls and build new bridges.
