CLACSO Working Groups Period 2026-2028
The Latin American Council of Social Sciences opens the XI Call for the presentation of proposals aimed at the formation of Working Groups for the period 2026-2028.
The main objective of the CLACSO Working Groups is the creation of interdisciplinary networks of researchers, linked with public policy decision-makers and representatives of social organizations, grouped around social issues and problems relevant to Latin America and the Caribbean and capable of developing relevant, rigorous and collaborative comparative social research with a regional perspective from the Global South.
Working Groups are selected through public calls for proposals, in which specific thematic proposals are submitted along with a three-year work plan. Each proposal must consist of a minimum of fifteen people, from at least six countries, and affiliated with Member or Associate Centers of the CLACSO institutional network. Once this number is reached, additional members, whether or not affiliated with the CLACSO network, may be added.
Applications are evaluated by an International Academic Committee made up of specialists with recognized experience in various thematic fields.
The call for entries is open to all themes.
As guiding principles, consider the following thematic emphases (not mutually exclusive):
-Geopolitical reconfigurations and multilateralism in transformation: perspectives from the Global South
-Democracies in dispute: horizons, resistances and the construction of alternatives from the public and the common
-Just transitions and disputed sovereignties from the Global South: towards sustainable and inclusive futures
-Common knowledge: technologies, Artificial Intelligence, open science and territorial knowledge
-Social movements and activism
-Feminist thought and action: plots, bodies and politics in motion
-Reconfigurations of work and production models in the current world
-Migration and human mobility
-Inequalities and poverty
-Right to education, public policies and pedagogical alternatives
