Black Feminisms: Dialoguing about a Teaching and Research Experience

Abstract

Black feminisms continue to promote multiple agendas of education and research, and this is the path taken by the authors of this article through productive dialogues of feminist knowledge from different standpoints. The aim is to value a teaching and research experience on Black feminisms or Afro-feminisms carried out at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Two analytical axes of discussion are proposed. First, a theoretical and political positioning on what these feminisms are and why we advocate for them, their convergences and divergences with hegemonic feminism from the standpoint of Afro-descendant women. Second, the starting points for addressing the topic are established, outlining a feminist, decolonial, and intersectional methodology. Finally, the authors present the achieved goals: the in-depth seminar and the main outcome of a research project on the reconfiguration of Black feminisms in Cuba.
