Overview

As part of the International Congress on Critical Pedagogies and Humanities, the Faculty of Education and Humanities at Universidad Católica Luis Amigó presents the Research School, an academic space designed to strengthen the research skills of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as emerging researchers, through interdisciplinary dialogue and the collective construction of critical knowledge.
This School arises in response to contemporary social, political, and ecological challenges, recognizing the transformative role of education and critical humanities in confronting structures of power, inequality, and exclusion. Focusing on subjectivities, interculturality, and social transformation, the School seeks to train researchers committed to social justice, the production of situated knowledge, and ethical action.

Methodology

The School integrates three main training strategies:

1. Keynote Lectures: Epistemic, methodological, and ethical-political coordinates to guide critical research.
2. Expert Courses: Specialized training in theoretical frameworks, methodological strategies, and practical application in research projects.
   
3. Co-creation Workshops: Collaborative spaces to design, problematize, and collectively disseminate knowledge in community.
   

Participation Process

Participation is open through a submission and selection process of research proposals, ensuring academic and geographical diversity. Attendance and active participation in all activities are required for final certification
