POPULAR EDUCATION AS A RESEARCH PRACTICE IN THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF INDIGENOUS SCIENCE (BRAZIL-BOLIVIA)

Abstract

Popular Education, as construction of Latin American thought, supports a scientific agenda of regional integration of Latin American universities in the internationalization of indigenous science. Thus, we seek to situate the organizational dynamics of the ongoing CAPES-funded research project for the internationalization of indigenous research between Brazil and Bolivia, emphasizing Popular Education as a research practice in the fight for the right to education, science, and technology for the people. indigenous people. The qualitative approach, post-colonial studies, action research and the dialectical method underlie the research methodology. The partial results indicate that Popular Education gives visibility to indigenous research in postgraduate studies; enables the articulation of a network of Brazil-Bolivia indigenous researchers; agenda for funding agencies on the internationalization of indigenous science in Latin American universities, on differentiated assistance to indigenous peoples, on the low inclusion of indigenous people in master's and doctoral courses and the challenges in carrying out study missions for the internationalization of research.
