Resumen

Este artículo reúne las experiencias de cuatro investigadoras chilenas y una investigadora española con diferentes trayectorias profesionales (psicología, sociología, enfermería y educación), quienes realizan indagación cualitativa desde otros enfoques, momentos y temas de interés con perspectiva de género en las regiones fronterizas de Arica y Parinacota, y Tarapacá, ambas en el norte de Chile; la capital Santiago; y en Andalucía, sur de España. En este trabajo, las autoras problematizan sus experiencias de investigación centrándose en su condición como académicas que realizan investigación cualitativa en el contexto de la educación superior neoliberal y con una pandemia que afecta a todas las esferas de la vida. Finalmente, exploran cómo han sido sus experiencias al liderar proyectos de investigación financiados por el gobierno y representar las voces de personas subrepresentadas en diferentes esferas de la vida en el campo de la educación y la salud. Se comparten voces para identificar desafíos y evaluar implicaciones para la investigación cualitativa en estos tiempos difíciles en la academia.
