Farewell to the beloved Miguel Teubal (1937-2021)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Miguel Teubal, economist from the University of Buenos Aires, PhD in Economics from the University of Berkeley and Senior Researcher at CONICET, and we send our warmest condolences to his family, colleagues, friends, and friends.

Miguel Teubal was a founder of the CLACSO Working Group on Critical Studies of Rural Development, along with other researchers such as Norma Giarracca and Hubert de Grammond, and participated in it until his death, continuing a line of critical research on rural development committed to rural social movements, peasants, indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants.

His research made him an essential figure in the study of agri-food systems in Argentina and Latin America, as well as the agribusiness model in the region. In addition to dozens of his own books and academic articles, he compiled a book on the work of the Argentine rural sociologist Norma Giarracca, his lifelong partner, published by CLACSO in the Essential Anthology collection.

Through his participation in diverse academic networks and conferences both in Latin America and globally, he left a profound mark on agrarian studies. He also played a significant role in training graduate students and researchers across the continent who will continue his legacy of insightful, rigorous, and socially committed research.

Several of his texts are available in open access in the CLACSO Virtual Library.
