Abstracts

We evaluated some aspects from the interaction between students of a graduate program and leaders from traditional peoples and communities in a course based on Meeting of Knowledges (MK). We adapted the qualitative evaluation recommended by the fourth generation evaluation to capture the main issues raised by participants. MK showed political and intersubjective potentialities as the careful dialogue between epistemes put into perspective the notion of unique science and unveiled and reflexively resumed aspects of direct descent and ancestry in students’ particular trajectories.
