BUSTOS, Tania Pérez. Aportes feministas a la Educación popular: entradas para repensar pedagógicamente la popularización de la ciencia y la tecnologia. Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.01, pp.243-260. ISSN 1517-9702.

This article aims to contribute, from a feminist critical perspective, to the pedagogical reflection about the popularization of science and technology. It starts by describing how popularization has centered on promoting an image of scientific and technological knowledge steeped in androcentric paradigms, in which there is no room for questioning either the epistemological statute of this knowledge or the subjectivities promoted thereby. It is proposed here that reinstating some of the claims of popular education can be useful to rethink educationally the popularization of science and technology. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance and need of rescuing the ethical-political dimension of the popular within the pedagogical concept of popularization, with the purpose of reinforcing its critical potential. In this connection the text argues, recovering the feminist pedagogies, particularly those which draw from the situated knowledge approach, such as those derived from border or decolonial feminism, that a feminist reading of Freire’s proposals, recognizing the role of the life experiences of men and women who popularize science and technology in bringing into play these educational practices, can enrich the ethical-political-epistemological legitimization of the popular in a vision of popularization as a transformative educational practice.
