CLACSO at the XXXV Latin American Congress of Sociology in Rio de Janeiro “ Between polycrisis and alternatives: horizons of Latin American critical sociology ” (Second part)
Organized from July 26 to 31, the conference called for reflection on a contemporary climate profoundly transformed by multiple and interdependent crises—political, economic, social, climatic, energy, ecological, and geopolitical—that are rapidly reshaping life in our societies and putting sociological work under strain. Added to this are growing threats to university autonomy, critical research, and the social sciences in general.
