Indigenous and black women in the internationalization of research in Latin America

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This article stems from the Brazil–Bolivia Indigenous science research project,1 developed under the Abdias Nascimento Program of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).2 The analysis focuses on the contributions of Indigenous and Black women to science, their ethnic-racial and academic profiles when in study missions abroad, problematizing their underrepresentation within the scientific system. The findings indicate that the participation of these women in the internationalization of research diversifies scientific canons, strengthens their scholarly work, and impacts the knowledge connected to their territories and to South–South cooperation networks.
