The Implications of Epistemic Justice for Intercultural and Inclusive Education

Abstract

In this chapter, we propose to explore the paradigm of epistemic justice in education as an approach to inclusive and truly intercultural education among indigenous peoples, as a key element to foster epistemological dialogue in all educational spaces and as an indispensable component to dismantle racism among new generations. We explore some examples of indigenous knowledge around nature, governance, equity and education, and advance the need to promote the participation of indigenous peoples in this endeavour.
