New Approaches and Synergies in Nordic Latin-American Studies: Applying Area Studies in a Multipolar World
Workshop #3: "Conviviality: Social and Cultural Cohesion Building”.
"Conviviality: Social and Cultural Cohesion Building” is Workshop #3 in the Nordic Series New Approaches and Synergies in Nordic Latin-American Studies: Applying Area Studies in a Multipolar World, funded by the Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
This workshop aims to discuss Latin American and Caribbean systems of knowledge and their contemporary utilisation across various disciplines to produce new understandings of societies and social phenomena, especially in the context of their potential contribution to the study of Nordic and global issues. With emphasis on radical conviviality and social cohesion-building in times of post-pandemic adaptation and increasing political incertitude, the main purpose of this workshop is to evaluate research and cooperation results among scholars and NGO’s representatives with expertise in Latin American and Caribbean epistemologies.
The workshop is funded by The Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOS-HS), as part of the Nordic Workshop Series New Approaches and Synergies in Nordic Latin-American Studies: Applying Area Studies in a Multipolar World organized by the Universities of Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Gothenburg and Oslo.
