POST-COLONIAL PROVOCATIONS TO THE EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY

ABSTRACT

Having as reference the post-colonial studies and its critics towards the North-centrism, sexism and racism in the scientific production, we intend to present in this article the experience from the workshop Racism, Sexism, Epistemicide and the Psi knowledges, which took place during the XXVI Psychology Week of Federal University of Ceará. In this context we promoted the debate about how the epistemic eurocentrism, the racism and the sexism produce effects in the field of knowledge of Psychology and discussed with students from the undergraduate and graduate programs the resistance strategies scientifically engaged in the confrontation of social injustices. As long as we query objectivity, neutrality and the universality of science, we also bring to discussion the naturalisation of social inequality and exclusion. The exercise of decoloniality as proposed in the workshop had a dimension of denunciatory provocation concerning the epistemic violences which constitute ourselves, as well as of an imaginative one concerning the transformations we have to make so that we welcome epistemic diversity in a pluriversal world.
