Resumo

Através do relato de um módulo de Leitura e Escrita Etnográfica ensinado em parceria pelas autoras em 2023, o artigo procura sublinhar as tensões e possibilidades das pedagogias antirracistas e decoloniais centradas no cuidado, à medida que se desenvolvem precariamente dentro da academia neoliberal e de uma disciplina nascida no encontro colonial: a antropologia. Refletimos de forma holística sobre a nossa experiência como co-docentes, desde a nossa própria relação entre nós e com os/as alunos/as, bem como a nossa relação com o tema da leitura e escrita etnográfica que determinou a nossa conceção curricular e as escolhas de leituras e tarefas, até à nossa precariedade e inserção tensa no departamento de antropologia de uma universidade neoliberal da Europa Ocidental, onde ambas estávamos precariamente empregadas como “migrantes do conhecimento”.
