This diploma course is coordinated by different specialists both in gender issues and in the regions addressed in each session.

General information

The diploma course "Feminist Epistemologies, Economy and Culture: Dialogues with Asia and Africa" offers an approach to the construction of knowledge from a decolonial and feminist perspective so that students acquire critical thinking on culture and economy in a dialogue with Asia and Africa. The proposal is innovative because it provides intersectional theoretical and methodological tools for economic and social analysis from Southern epistemologies with a decolonial and feminist approach, which allows the approach from Mexico to the history of the dynamics of Asian and African women.

The course consists of 7 modules. They are divided into: theoretical sessions, quantitative workshops, literature and film sessions, and a final practical session that aims to apply and strengthen the knowledge acquired throughout the module. Module 7 incorporates its contents transversally throughout the first 5 modules, in such a way that one session is devoted to literature and film in each of the first modules.

Module 6 is designed from conceptual and quantitative tools to analyze indicators of feminism and intersectionality, as workshops incorporated after the theoretical sessions of modules 1 to 5. Its content responds to the general objectives of the Diploma, where the workshops follow a progressive order that allows the development of statistical and graphical R resources.

The objectives of the modules are: to establish the foundations from feminism and decolonial studies (module 1); to understand critical and feminist thinking (module 2); to analyze the construction of gender from colonial imposition (module 3); to delve into the factors of labor from feminist and decolonial epistemologies, examining social reproduction from the perspective of intersectionality (module 4); to investigate alternative feminist and decolonial proposals (module 5); to provide quantitative tools for economic and social analysis (module 6) and; to offer literature and cinema coming from the South epistemologies in a dialogue with Asia and Africa (module 7).

The contents are multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary in nature, distributed in consecutive sessions that integrate knowledge in a progressive and chronological manner. The distribution of the Diploma is sequential, each module lays the foundations for the next, so that there is a continuity that allows the integration and application of the contents. It starts from the theoretical-conceptual bases of feminism and decoloniality to understand their relationship with gender, colonialism and social reproduction, in order to apply the theory and methodology in alternative feminist and decolonial proposals.
