MORETTI, Cheron Zanini  and  ADAMS, Telmo. Participatory research and popular education: epistemologies of the south. Educ. Real. [online]. 2011, vol.36, n.02, pp.447-463. ISSN 0100-3143.

The objective of this article is to promote a dialogue between popular education and participatory research, considering that both are based on epistelogies originated in the south, which implies understanding them within the context of (de)coloniality of knowledge. To develop the argument, Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda are presented as important sources in the educative, political and organizational processes of emancipation from the eurocentric mirror. Latin America and Europe are united through conflictualities, and the experiences, methods and pedagogies for insurgencies, while valuing the other knowledge vis-à-vis coloniality from the north become foundational elements in the reinvention of social emancipation.

Keywords : Popular Education; Participatory Research; Coloniality of Knowledge; Latin America; Epistemologies of the South.
