A knowledge of us all

contributions of marginal experiences in the production of academic knowledge

Abstract

Based on the reading of black female and male authors, this article proposes a theoretical-conceptual debate regarding intellectual production produced from non-hegemonic places and epistemologies. Also inspired by Virginia Woolf's reflections on how gender acts as a facilitator of intellectual production, it engages reflection on the outsider within condition, proposed by Patrícia Hill Collins, to highlight the contributions that knowledge produced on the margins can offer to the construction of countercolonial epistemologies, highlighting blind spots and an especially creative perspective on criticism of hegemonic fields. Furthermore, it is expected that this article will contribute to thinking about education as a communicative process.
