In this article, we engaged in pláticas to write about the methodology of pláticas. We show the use of this method by theorizing the pláticas. Our pláticas helped us reveal how we have experienced epistemicide and apartheid of knowledge blocked by epistemological racism in academia. We emphasized how the marginalization and invalidation in academia of this method happens and continues to happen especially in the social sciences. We demonstrate how this method has not been absent, but rather it has not been legitimized in academia. We also show how our refusal to employ dominant epistemologies allows us to move toward transformative qualitative inquiries.

在这篇文章中，我们从事 pláticas 来写 pláticas 的方法论。我们通过理论化 pláticas 来展示这种方法的使用。我们的 pláticas 帮助我们揭示了我们如何经历被学术界的认识论种族主义所阻碍的知识灭绝和种族隔离。我们强调了这种方法在学术界的边缘化和无效化是如何发生并继续发生的，尤其是在社会科学领域。我们证明了这种方法不是没有存在，而是在学术界没有被合法化。我们还展示了我们拒绝使用占主导地位的认识论如何使我们能够转向变革性的定性调查。
