“…In the literature of the region, as in the publications of Álvarez et al 54 and Carrasco and Olivares 55 , the development of a proper concept of occupation is sought. In previous studies, a discussion about dialogues between public policies and the occupations of people, groups and communities from critical perspectives were reported [56][57][58] . Meanwhile, authors such as Caro-Vines 59 and Muñoz 60 seek to historically rescue the practices and epistemologies around occupation in decentralized spaces of Chilean regionalism.…”

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.

“…It is regrettable that dominance of the English language within the international publishing industry -coupled with active promotion, vigorous marketing and extensive exportation -has effectively reinforced the global supremacy and hegemony of occupational therapy assumptions, theories and modes of practice derived from Western knowledge, and informed by urban Western perspectives, priorities and concerns (Emery-Whittington & Te Maro, 2018;Hammell, 2009aHammell, , 2009bHammell, , 2011Hammell, , 2015aHammell, , 2019Magalhães et al, 2019;Yañez & Zúñiga, 2018;Yang et al, 2006). This constitutes a neo-colonial and neo-imperialistic dominance that excludes diverse worldviews and that neither enables nor permits equality of the opportunity to contribute knowledge derived from other perspectives (Grech, 2012;Martín et al, 2015;Santos, 2014).…”

Epidemiologists have sought to focus global attention on the "social determinants of health"-the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age-and on the impact of the inequitable distribution of these determinants on people's opportunities to be healthy. Evidence demonstrates, unequivocally, that occupation is a determinant of human health and wellbeing. Because inequitable social determinants shape the availability of health-promoting occupational opportunities, occupational therapists have raised the importance of addressing occupational injustices. However, theoretical scholarship pertaining to occupational justice and occupational injustice has been disproportionately dominated by the culturally-specific perspectives of Anglophone theorists from the Global North. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some of the problems and confusions arising from Anglophone scholarship on occupational injustices; and to highlight the importance of action on the social determinants of health through occupation. Confused definitions of various occupational injustices are unhelpful to practitioners. The occupational therapy profession could actively address the social determinants of occupation through focusing on occupational equity and occupational rights, informed by existing scholarship on human capabilities. Issues of occupational rights, denial of occupational rights (occupational injustices), and of in/equities of occupational opportunities ought to be fundamental issues for the occupational therapy profession, whose most pressing concern should surely be: how can occupational therapists most
