BERMUDEZ-URBINA, Flor Marina. "From Above or From Below": Constructions and Articulations of an Academic Research Field on Intercultural Education in México. LiminaR [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.2, pp.153-167. ISSN 2007-8900.

This paper is an approach to the epistemic communities that make up the sub-field of intercultural education in Mexico and reflects on the scopes and processes which articulate them.. Firstly, it presents the circumstances that favor the transition from the research on indigenous education towards intercultural education research and it explains the joints that allow its appearance. Secondly, it describes the field that articulates the epistemic communities contrasted by the looks "from above or from below". It concludes with a reflection on the challenges that the study of epistemic communities and the research on intercultural education faces in the current political-educational situations.

Palabras llave : interculturalism; intercultural education; epistemic communities.
