Collective health, decoloniality and feminism(s). Contributions from the dialogue of knowledge between women

Abstract

In this article we reflect on the implications of trying out interventions in decolonial and feminist keys, based on pre-professional practice in the field of health, at the fifth level of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Work (Faculty of Social Sciences- National University of Córdoba). We maintain that the dialogue of knowledge and decolonial feminist epistemologies are fertile ground for cultivating collective health, which recovers epistemological and ontological diversities. In order to assume this challenge from Social Work, we consider it imperative to decolonize our interventions as the profession does not escape from the colonial inheritance either.

Within this framework, we are interested in sharing the challenges, coordinates, and ruptures that we recognized in our experience of intervention, in the complex relationship between health and women; since apprehending the decolonial and feminist options embodies an arduous process of revealing the colonial-patriarchal-capitalist in our practices and subjectivities.
