“…Finally, the TTOO of the South is considered historically, socially and culturally, as the authors propose (POLLARD, 2017;POLLARD;SAKELLARIOU, 2017;SILVA et al, 2017;TOLVETT, 2016;RAMUGONDO, 2018). Thus, the knowledge and practices from and in OT can only be understood when considering the conditions and the daily life in which it occurs, and from there, as proposed by Escobar (2000) with the idea of "place-based practices", to promote local aspects over global aspects, generating economic, social and cultural alternatives different from those imposed by the capital, in such a way that symmetrical relationships of power can be restructured among the different social actors.…”

“…Consider the social conditions that produce exclusion, inequality, and injustice, and to develop strategies in their professional practice to help overcome them; 3. Considering what Ramugondo (2018) states, our action is political because it strengthens the conscience, self-determination, and self-sufficiency of the people and communities that constitute the Global South, the South that is oppressed, subaltern, relegated and excluded. 4.…”

“…Finally, the TTOO of the South would privilege the generation of knowledge by methods based on practice, that is, it rescues experiential knowledge, intuitive, practical, creative, relational and common sense, which are produced collective and participative with the subjects and communities (GUAJARDO, 2014b;JARA;SCHLIEBENER, 2016;RAMUGONDO, 2018). This is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects to consider, as the TTOO of the South could be the materialization of decolonizing and libertarian practices 1 .…”

This essay is a proposal to approach one of the possible routes that would allow understanding Occupational Therapies of the South. This text begins by defining what is meant by the South and its diverse possibilities. Then, it resorts to the historicization of the discipline, that is, the recognition of the theoretical, practical and reflective work developed several years ago by the occupational therapists that are located in the South. Through a critical and reflective dialogue proposed by these authors, the main ideas of what is understood by the Occupational Therapies of the south are proposed and developed, specifically in the topics that are considered to be constitutive of Southern Occupational Therapies, such as they are "the social", the political, decolonization, human rights, collective occupations, and feminism. Finally, a horizon is proposed towards which these Occupational Therapies of the south could advance, based on the concept of interculturality.

“…In an inspirational keynote, Professor Elelwani Ramugondo (2018) launched this global meeting by urging those present to take the position of intersectional decoloniality, "highlighting critical signposts, where potential traps for re-inscribing coloniality, remain" (p. 1). She called for "contextually situated practice, [that] may be well placed to advance healing work or decoloniality, in ways that not only benefit individuals or groups, but can impact society" (Ramugondo, 2018, p. 1).…”

“…However, ideas such as occupational consciousness and decoloniality remain elusive in the occupational therapy discourse in the United States, with which we are most familiar. We became aware of many of these ideas at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) Congress held in 2018 in South Africa during presentations about colonialism and the power dynamics in our professional knowledge and practice (Hammell, 2018;Ramugondo, 2018). These presentations challenged our ideas about occupational therapy and how we teach it, and we were not alone in reflecting on our experiences and the implications for practice (Dirette, 2018).…”

Challenging the Status Quo: Infusing Non-Western Ideas into Occupational Therapy Education and Practice

The authors of this Topics in Education article, who are both occupational therapy educators, reflect on challenging concepts related to decolonizing occupational therapy education, an idea they first encountered at the 2018 World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress. They acknowledge that Western views heavily influence the occupational therapy concepts they teach to their students. The downside of approaching occupational therapy education and practice primarily from a Western worldview is that occupational therapy students and practitioners may perpetuate societal inequities through their practices and are not well-prepared to address the occupational needs of individuals and communities around the world. This article describes existing alternative views, including occupational consciousness, cultural humility, and ubuntu, and how these concepts can be applied to occupational therapy practice and education. Practical recommendations are made about reconsidering how occupational therapy concepts are taught in educational settings and applied in practice. Comments The authors report that they have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
