Abstract

On December 3, 2020 the Feminist Historians Network carried out the virtual seminar, “We are making history. New generations and topics in  Feminist History”. For reasons of space, in this article we are only publishing the first part of this seminar’s transcription. The extract presented has to do with the trajectory of each young feminist historian. This was an enriching seminar that contributes to current debates on Feminist History from numerous perspectives, including those related to de-centralization and intersectional, decolonial and anti-racist feminisms. This seminar also helps to re-examine how knowledge is obtained, in particular Feminist History knowledge, within a discipline like History in Chile, one which, unfortunately, has been marred by machismo and multiple cases of sexual harassment and sexual violence in recent years.
