XXXIII Latin American Congress of Sociology
From August 14 to 19, 2022, in Mexico City, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí and Mérida, the XXXIII Latin American Congress of Sociology was held , organized by the Latin American Sociological Association (ALAS) under the name: “ The (re)construction of the social in times of pandemics and post-pandemics. Critical contributions from the Latin American and Caribbean social sciences ”, with significant participation from the Latin American Council of Social Sciences.
The central theme of the Congress is the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has placed us in a paradoxical and polarizing scenario. In this context, sociology has served as input and has guided the perceptions and decision-making of governments, civil organizations, and social movements. The debate on reality has broadened, and concepts such as civilizational crisis, ecosocial collapse, intersectionality, neoliberalism, racism, domestic violence, public health, the State, economic model, and development programs, among others, have been strengthened.
The Congress included the following activities: Keynote Lectures – Master Dialogues – Panels – Tributes – Virtual Spaces for Dialogue and Coexistence/Coffee Rooms – Holding of the General Assembly – Cultural Activities – Book Fairs at Each Congress Venue – Presentation of Audiovisual Messages from Personalities in the Social Sciences and the ALAS Environment.
