From feminist epistemologies to decolonial feminism: Contributions to studies about migrations

Abstract

This paper start with the analusis of three approaches that have challenged conventional scientific thinking: feminist epistemologies, decolonial theory and decolonial feminism; then, the strengths of these frameworks are integrated in order to generate an epistemological proposal for gender and migration studies. This proposal —based on three axes— dismantles the androcentric and sexist foundations of science as well as eurocentric and colonialist arguments reflected in gender studies, betting on a research perspective that addresses the intersectionalities that women experience in the Framework of the social experiences of gender and migration from a dialogical view, which we understand must be imprint of the scientific work.
