Abstract

Hope is needed for human action and social transformation. To promote and empower community participation is a key process in a time that neoliberal economy promotes social atomism and individualization. For doing so, critical and epistemic reflexivity is needed in contexts of occupational apartheid. A reflexive analysis of current issues and potential futures of occupational therapy within an intentional dialogue.
