FEMINIST NETWORKS FOR TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION

Abstract

This text has by objective to discuss the formation of feminist networks, especially the Red Feminismos Cultura y Poder, created in Mexico, and the Grupo de Pesquisa Lélia Gonzalez, in Brazil. Both networks are composed of feminist researchers who also work as professors in public universities. Red Feminismos Cultura y Poder has the participation of professors from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), in Mexico, while the Grupo de Pesquisa Lélia Gonzalez is composed of professors from the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG). After the establishment of these networks, other teachers also joined them with the aim of forming support networks, strengthening and developing new ways of working, in addition to creating transformative approaches to teaching in Latin America. It is important to emphasize that this union shows us that we are not alone.
