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.

Internacional Symposium: Study of Wealth and Elites in Latin America

As is well known, Latin America is characterized by historically persistent social inequality, which is very high compared to other regions of the world. While scientific efforts in recent years have increasingly focused on the consequences of this scenario for marginalized and poor populations, the constitution and concentration of wealth in the hands of a small economic elite remain largely unexplored. The CALAS research group "Study of Wealth and Elites" comprehensively examines the composition of wealth and the role of elites in Latin America.

International Conference "Confronting inequalities in Latin America: perspectives on wealth and power"

Latin America is characterized by high social inequality. This inequality is not only expressed in a pronounced asymmetry in the distribution, access, and consumption of material resources, but it is profoundly more complex due to its multi-dimensionality and its inter-sectionality. These social inequalities regularly create conflicts that often lead to deep political, social, and ecological crises.
