Abstract

LIMA JUNIOR, Paulo. POSITION PAPER: GIVING MEANING TO TEACHERS’ DISCOURSES RELATED TO BIOLOGY KNOWLEDGE FROM FEMINIST EPISTEMOLOGIES - A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE REGARDING THE SCIENTIFIC CONCEPT OF SEX. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2023, vol.25, e48478.  Epub Nov 10, 2023. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172022240161.

This opinion article originates from the evaluation of the original article authored by Ana Paula Oliveira dos Santos and Bettina Heerdt, published in volume 24 of 2023 of Ensaio magazine. I propose a re-reading of the results presented by Ana Paula Oliveira dos Santos and Bettina Heerdt in the light of the works of Sandra Harding, Judith Butler and Pierre Bourdieu. As a result, I argue that gender needs to be recognized and denounced as structuring scientific rationality and the biological theory of sex so that natural sciences do not continue to contribute to the oppression of women and the LGBTQIAPN+ population. Any feminist project of social transformation will also need to transform the biological and natural sciences.

Keywords : Gender; Sex; Feminist Epistemology.
