Abstract

CASTRO, Lucia Rabello de. Internationalization policies in higher education: decolonial challenges for the human and social sciences. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.50, pp. 39-56. ISSN 2175-1390.

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion about higher education's internationalization policies in Brazil, which, since the 1970s, has considered the scientific trajectory of the Northern countries as the paradigm to be followed. My contribution here aims at: (a) examining, under a decolonial perspective, the relevance of internationalization policies in the scope of a geopolitics of knowledge; (b) relating the internationalization processes with those of the globalization of international capitalism, and what is being called academic capitalism; (c) discussing some insurgences regarding the international division of academic work and some criticisms to the universal science; (d) problematizing the "subjectivity that knows" in the qualification of Southern researchers of the periphery; (e) envisage alternative horizons for the South, the university and Human and Social Sciences.

Keywords : Internationalization; Higher education; Decoloniality; Brazil; Policies.
