Maria Patricia and Lina Meruane to talk on epistemic and narrative vulnerability

Maria Patricia, philosopher and researcher, will give a conference entitled La vulnerabilitat epistèmica on 20 December at 11 a.m., in the Tarotdequinze room of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities. Her conference focuses on epistemic coloniality and the assertion that plural knowledge transforms exclusions into spaces for the reconstruction of knowledge. Lina Meruabe, writer and academic, will give a conference entitled La vulnerabilitat narrativa, in which she will explore the body, illness and narrative as forms of cultural and political resistance.

These conferences form part of the series La vulnerabilitat encara avui, organised by the UAB Department of Philosophy, where the voices of significant feminists from the Global South have contributed, from theory and activism, to carry out a critical and situated renewal of vulnerability from an interdisciplinary viewpoint.
