Saberes en movimiento : Contribuciones desde la academia y la sociedad civil a los estudios sobre migraciones en Chile

Abstract

Saberes en movimiento is a collective contribution in social and legal sciences to studies on migration in Chile. The editorial project emerged as a strategy to articulate three independent academic contexts: a thesis competition and two research projects under the direction of the editor of this volume. These initiatives were approaching and enriching each other with their diverse theoretical and epistemological perspectives, coming to converge in three fundamental ideas for this field of study: the commitment to favor a plurality of views in the production of knowledge, the importance of the human rights approach to address migrations and the need for critical reflection to contribute to plural and inclusive societies.
