The dominant academic system and its Eurocentric bias resists incorporating gender relations as necessary categories and has given gender studies in Latin America a peripheral status. Despite these structural limitations, academic-political communities have emerged committed to a critical, interdisciplinary and decolonizing praxis, in
constant dialogue with regional social struggles. From this
perspective, we present a special issue that makes visible themes and approaches that are making their way through the traditional academy. The articles included address issues, categories and developments in the field of feminism such as intersectionality and decoloniality, hegemonic and dissident masculinities in Medellín,
gender violence in higher education, subjectivation and dissident bodies, community and indigenous feminism, fatphobia, lesbianism as political subjectivity, and feminist pedagogies in rural contexts. As a whole, this publication seeks to contribute to the insurgent construction of knowledge and the recognition of other ways of producing knowledge from the Global South.
