Abstract

This essay discusses how social emancipation and the ecology of knowledges are concepts that seek recognition of the Global South intellectual traditions and epistemologies within a South-North, inter- and transnational curriculum studies dialogue. Focusing on the potential contributions of Santos and Paraskeva, this essay argues that notions of epistemicide, cognitive justice, ecology of knowledges, and itinerant curriculum theory make key contributions to such a dialogue. This essay concludes by noting Santos’ and, especially, Paraskeva’s relevance to the area of “curriculum and everyday school life studies” that has emerged in the Brazilian field of curriculum studies, with potentials to influence the intellectual work of Northern curriculum theorists. Overall, I present this paper with the expectation of further unfolding South-North dialogues and amplifying inter- and transnational recognitions in curriculum studies.
