| Sumario: | This article analyzes Marisela Connelly’s academic career in Chinese studies in Mexico through a focus on “situated sinology”. The research problem is the persistent inequity of institutional conditions, that operate as neoliberal, gender, linguistic, and colonial barriers restricting the development of women social scientists, particularly sinologists. Feminist and critical epistemologies are integrated as a strategy that rejects sinologism and reclaims the positionality of the academic person and the “traveling between epistemic worlds”. By examining academic biographies and intellectual genealogies, it shows how figures such as Marisela Connelly emerge as epistemic agents who redefine the production of knowledge about China. Situated sinology, by rooting the bodies and positionality of researchers, opens up avenues for a critical, inclusive, and reflexive sinology.
