Knowledge Production
International Conference "At the Cutting Edges of Knowledge Production: Borders and Black Holes in Academic Dialogue"
The dialogical exchange between researchers on an equal footing is a basic normative principle of the academic field. Differentiations within the field result from academic recognition and merits. As democratic as this ideal may sound, the academic landscape is also permeated by multiple, intersectional inequalities, discrimination, and exclusionary mechanisms. There is often still a gulf that is rooted in a historically developed colonial geopolitics of knowledge particularly between the Global North and the Global South.
Fuentes. Entre realidad y construcción. Perspectivas transdisciplinarias desde América Latina
El proyecto CALAS se caracteriza por una colaboración interdisciplinar entre las ciencias sociales y las humanidades, que se ha propuesto desarrollar líneas de investigación transdisciplinarias mediante la interacción continua entre diversos temas como son violencia y paz, desigualdades sociales o crisis ecológicas e identidades, entre otros. Para reflejar esta colaboración, CALAS ha creado un espacio donde se reflejan una serie de convergencias y divergencias entre las humanidades y las ciencias sociales.
Sarah Corona Berkin: La producción horizontal del conocimiento
This text ratifies that knowledge does not pertain to a particular discipline or region of the world. The Horizontal Construction of Knowledge refers to the vigor that social knowledge acquires when it is based on the disciplinary dialogue with the voices of the multiple knowledges possessed by those who live and overcome the social problems that afflict them. Research that responds horizontally to social questions contributes in two ways: it produces new knowledge, and new relationships between people.

Decolonizing knowledge production. Perspectives from the Global South
The production of knowledge in the global academic field is still highly unevenly distributed. Western knowledge, which originated in Western Europe and was deepened in the transatlantic exchange with North America, is still considered an often unquestioned reference in many academic disciplines. Thus, this specific, regional form of knowledge production has become universalized.
Plataforma para el Diálogo: Educar con futuro. Cerrando brechas a las desigualdades
El sector educativo ha sido uno de los más afectados durante los dos años de la contingencia sanitaria causado por el virus SARS-CoV-2. El cierre de las escuelas y universidades afectaba en América Latina y el Caribe inmediatamente a 160 millones de estudiantes.
