CRITICAL EPISTEMOLOGY, KNOWING THROUGH GENDER AND THE DECOLONIAL

Trauma and the Politics of Memory

This collaborative project between Professor of Philosophy José Medina (Northwestern) and the at the time doctoral student Cintia Marínez Velasco (UNAM, Mexico) focused on Latin-American and Latinx feminisms and gender theories developed in the Global South while highlighting a particular emphasis on the decolonial approaches these theories provide. Medina and Marínez Velasco developed interdisciplinary syllabi that critically interrogate the intersections of gender, sexuality, and Latinidad.

As part of the project, Taylor Rogers, who was then a Ph.D. student (Northwestern), has compiled an extensive bibliography of Critical Epistemologies resources, broken down by sub-topic, and created a film funded by Northwestern’s Center for the Interdisciplinary Research in the Arts.
