In this essay, we ask ourselves about the material conditions that enable the creation of feminist knowledge, its advances and marginalizations interwoven in neoliberal, racist, and heterocispatriarchal academia. Based on a study of gender and knowledge from a feminist perspective (2021–24), this article elaborates a collective account from researc...

A partir de un estudio sobre género y conocimientos desde una perspectiva feminista (2021–2024), este artículo elabora u...

This article falls within the framework of studies on higher education. Its purpose is to understand how the academic subjectivities that build the performativity regime are configured through the discourse of key actors in the field of education, for which a qualitative study with a poststructural approach is carried out. This research is carried...

In this paper, we dialogue about the processes of knowledge construction that work through and disrupt academic regulations. As feminist, Indigenous, and non-Indigenous Latinx scholars, we build on the reflections stemming from our research of Mapuche women’s biographies of schooling. We focus on three tensions of knowledge production within and be...

In this article, we reflect on a research method we called Circulo Domoche, part of a larger research project on the histories of schooling of Mapuche women in Chile in a context of continual violence against Indigenous people. It originates in the personal experience of the researchers with Chilean schooling and our academic work on education. We...

¿Por qué feminismo en investigación? Esa ha sido una pregunta latente en educación superior desde el Mayo Feminista de 2018 en Chile. Sin embar- go, desde la década de los 80, las epistemologías feministas han desafiado la conversación sobre conocimiento y sus procesos de construcción. En este artículo esbozo reflexiones sobre los aportes de los fe...

This article focuses on the ways in which international students from Chile narrate their experiences in the US, and the extent to which mobility across national borders reshapes social class understandings and privilege.

In the context of a recent increase in the Chilean production of knowledge within the field of higher education, this article reveals some trends exhibited by this production, as well as the main research topics. With this aim, we examine the number and institutional affiliations of research grants in the area, provide a bibliometric analysis of We...

Collaboration is an indispensable tool to promote and increase research. However, little is known about the role of women in collaborative efforts among educational scholars, especially in developing countries, such as Chile. We apply social network analysis (SNA) to examine the relationships and patterns that emerge from a dataset retrieved from W...

This article aims to analyse the multiple ways in which the neoliberal regulation of knowledge is negotiated by returning Chilean scholars. The data gathered suggest the construction of knowledge is highly regulated by a principle of intellectual endogamy. Intellectual endogamy is characterised by conservatism, reflected in a lack of diversity in r...

This paper presents the work of three researchers in a self-study on researcher positionality using the reflective practice and pedagogy of correspondence as preparation for future work with mapuche women in Chile. We start from the assumption that research with and on indigenous groups has a historical debt to consider given the ways in which it h...

In diverse academic spaces around the world, sexual and gendered harassment is increasingly recognized as a problem. High‐profile cases continue to emerge that underscore how gendered harassment is normalized in elite research contexts. In this article, Liz Jackson and Ana Luisa Muñoz‐García analyze three recent policy cases for decreasing sexual a...

How does neoliberalism in the education field shape who teachers are and what they can be? What are the effects of neoliberal logic on students? How is gender at the core of what it means to teach and learn in neoliberal educational institutions? Neoliberalism, Gender and Education Work examines the everyday labour of educating in a variety of cont...

In this article, we analyse the impact of academic mobility on the construction of knowledge for Chilean scholars who have studied abroad. We conducted 41 semi-structured interviews with Chilean-born scholars in the social sciences and humanities, who accepted jobs at national research universities in Chile after receiving their doctorates abroad....

Scientific productivity and economic growth have been largely used to assess the effect of doctorate education policy. From a different perspective, we analyze the expansion of doctorate scholarships in Chile from the standpoint of equity with social. During the last decade Chile has invested the largest amount of resources in graduate education. U...
