ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the way the author, as a cognizant subject, and therefore, political subject, situates herself in her research and on how she builds an embodied research agenda from this standpoint. The research on which the author reflects, is a multi-sited ethnography made in Colombia and Spain, about migratory trajectories and care, carried out over more than ten years, and which she has built from intersectional, heterarchical, multiscalar, inter and transdisciplinary perspectives. This chapter is a journey, a route on the construction of a border epistemology or a migrant epistemology, which implies an embodied, partial, negotiated and responsible knowledge and, at the same time, an understanding of how the matrix of oppressions operates, it is to say, how the sex-gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexuality and ableist systems are co-produced in the experience of all the subjects that give life to this research agenda on migratory trajectories and care.
