“…There is no doubt that important studies on Human Occupation have been carried out in several Latin American countries, in many diverse areas.

BACKGROUND: The contemporary perspectives of occupational therapy in Latin America focus on an epistemic, political, and plural field under construction and in dispute. It is about the notions of knowing and doing designed to appoint the theoretical and methodological aspects that support the reading and intervention of the complex realities PURPOSE: This paper explores a glocal dialogue about the production and dissemination of knowledge in occupational therapy in Latin America KEY ISSUES: The dialogue includes issues and trends in the global scientific and social scenario, without neglecting aspects of different local realities around the world. By focusing on the profession in Latin America, using different perspectives, such as Critical Occupational Therapy; Occupational Therapy and Social Issues; Occupational Therapy and Culture; Territory and Community Occupational Therapy; Southern Occupational Therapies; and Occupational Science in Latin America. It further discusses the relationship between the theoretical perspectives and the coloniality of knowledge in occupational therapy and the contradictions based on neoliberal models in the production and dissemination of knowledge CONCLUSION: The hegemonic neoliberal model and the glocalisation theoretical framework appeared to support and circumvent the production of scientific knowledge in occupational therapy, and placed Latin America on the periphery of the global debate Keywords: professional practice of occupational therapy; theoretical framework, theoretical perspective, coloniality of knowledge, critical occupational therapy, occupational science.

“…Scholars from South America and South Africa urged the discipline to interrogate the historical forces that created the institutions of the study of occupation (Guajardo et al, 2015). This interrogation should involve rethinking the basis of the study of occupation on political, ethical, and epistemological levels (Guajardo et al, 2015;Magalhães et al, 2018;Ramugondo, 2015).…”

If occupational science education is to become more globally relevant, it must highlight more voices and practices from diverse communities. Learning about occupational justice from the perspectives of Global South communities addresses cognitive injustice and the need to decolonise occupational science education. This paper offers some critical reflections concerning the author's pedagogic approach, and the ways his research about olive growing in Palestine (Simaan, 2018) informed students' learning about occupational justice. It focuses on the processes in which students and lecturers engaged within a decolonising approach to occupational science education. A learning activity based on pedagogical processes of 'conscientization' (Freire, 1996), critical reflexivity (Whiteford & Townsend, 2011) and intercultural translation (Santos, 2014) is discussed, and lessons learnt by lecturer and students about themselves, their communities, and occupational science are reflected upon. Selected students' reflections, which illustrate how they positioned themselves in relation to the community studied, and how they interrogated their own reactions to learning about daily lives in Palestine, are discussed. These processes demonstrate the benefits of highlighting local knowledge on occupational justice produced by Global South groups, and how this knowledge might begin to address cognitive injustice and the need to decolonise occupational science pedagogy. More empirical and theoretical work is needed in occupational science education regarding intercultural translations concerning occupational justice, and means of doing and knowing from diverse Global South perspectives.

A Terapia Ocupacional caracteriza-se pela multiplicidade de saberes e práticas direcionadas para a construção da autonomia que são direcionadas por diferentes referenciais teórico-metodológicos. Na atualidade, especialmente no contexto latino-americano, observa-se a ampliação das discussões sobre perspectivas críticas na Terapia Ocupacional, que apesar de sua pluralidade, de uma forma geral, dialogam com as obras de Paulo Freire. Este editorial tem como objetivo refletir sobre possíveis contribuições da Pedagogia Paulo Freire para a construção de práticas direcionadas à autonomia no contexto da Terapia Ocupacional. O referencial de Paulo Freire pode subsidiar intervenções da Terapia Ocupacional que tenham como horizonte a humanização e a justiça social. Compreendendo as ocupações como expressão e formas de ação no mundo, pautar a Terapia Ocupacional na obra freireana implica na defesa de que estas sejam promotoras do “ser mais” dos seres humanos no processo de transformação de si e do mundo. Transformações que implicam e se concretizam no/pelo exercício da autonomia e que se potencializam na assunção de posturas críticas na realidade vivenciada. Nesta perspectiva, defendemos uma terapia ocupacional dialógica, fundamentada na amorosidade, humildade, fé nos seres humanos, esperança e pensar crítico. O encontro da Terapia Ocupacional com a Pedagogia de Paulo Freire, a partir de suas compreensões sobre a autonomia, pode contribuir significativamente para a reflexão e ação profissional, que numa perspectiva ética, seja efetivamente direcionada para a transformação do/no cotidiano no sentido da humanização e justiça social. Abstract: Occupational therapy involves a multiplicity of fields of knowledge and practices that aim to build autonomy and is thus guided by various theories and methodologies. There is currently, especially in Latin America, growing interest in the adoption of critical perspectives within occupational therapy, whose concerns, despite the plural nature of the profession, overlap with those of Paulo Freire. This editorial reflects on how Paulo Freire’s educational theories could help occupational therapy to develop practices that promote autonomy. Paulo Freire’s work can be used as a guide for occupational therapy interventions that aim to achieve humanization and social justice. Seeing occupations as a form of expression and action in the world, basing occupational therapy on Freire’s work involves arguing that it can help human beings to "be more" as part of the process of transforming themselves and the world. These transformations involve exercising autonomy and are made concrete through this. They gain power a critical position is adopted in relation to the world of lived experience. We therefore espouse a dialogic form of occupational therapy, based on love, humility, faith in human beings, hope, and critical thinking. The meeting of occupational therapy and Paulo Freire’s educational theories, through their shared understanding of autonomy, may provide a significant contribution to theory and practice in the profession, whose ethos involves engendering more humanity and social justice in our everyday lives.Key words: Autonomy; Everyday; Humanization; Paulo Freire education; Occupational therapy. Resumen: La Terapia Ocupacional se caracteriza por la multiplicidad de conocimientos y prácticas dirigidas a construir autonomía que se guían por diferentes referencias teóricas y metodológicas. Hoy en día, especialmente en el contexto latinoamericano, hay una expansión de las discusiones sobre perspectivas críticas en Terapia Ocupacional, que a pesar de su pluralidad, en general, dialogan con las obras de Paulo Freire. Este editorial tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre las posibles contribuciones de la pedagogía Paulo Freire a la construcción de prácticas dirigidas a la autonomía en el contexto de la terapia ocupacional. El marco de Paulo Freire puede apoyar las intervenciones de terapia ocupacional que tienen como objetivo la humanización y la justicia social. Entender las ocupaciones como expresión y formas de acción en el mundo, guiar la Terapia Ocupacional en el trabajo de Freire implica la defensa de que son promotores del "ser más" de los seres humanos en el proceso de transformarse a sí mismos y al mundo. Transformaciones que implican y se materializan en / a través del ejercicio de la autonomía y que se potencian en la asunción de posturas críticas en la realidad experimentada. En esta perspectiva, defendemos una terapia ocupacional dialógica, basada en el amor, la humildad, la fe en los seres humanos, la esperanza y el pensamiento crítico. El encuentro entre la Terapia Ocupacional y la Pedagogía de Paulo Freire, basado en su comprensión de la autonomía, puede contribuir significativamente a la reflexión y a la acción profesional, que desde una perspectiva ética, está efectivamente dirigida hacia la transformación de / en la vida diaria hacia la humanización. y justicia social.Palabras clave: Autonomia; Cotidiano; Humanização; Pedagogia Paulo Freire; Terapia ocupacional
