Social development and comparative social structure analysis

Our research focuses on the emergence, consolidation, transformation of social inequalities and patterns of violence as well as the ways of dealing with them. We look at dynamics of norm-building, gendered power structures, collective memory, transitional|transformative justice, peace and reconciliation, diaspora, and migration, with emphasis on Latin America (Central America, Colombia Cuba). With our research, we seek to contribute to critical and often comparative research on peace processes and conflict transformation in an interconnected world. Our research practice is informed by critical theory and decolonial and discrimination-sensitive approaches.
