Profesores de diversas orientaciones conceptuales, con trayectorias académicas disimiles, formados en diferentes épocas y generaciones, y vinculados a múltiples instituciones del Valle de Aburrá, confluyen en este texto alrededor de un foco común: la formación en psicología. Este libro nos desafía a pensar en los múltiples asuntos que la compleja labor de la formación de la psicología implica: esa diversidad constitutiva de la psicología, dimensión estructural que la define, que la hace por definición ciencia multiparadigmática, y que, antes de constituirse en un obstáculo, es la fuente de su riqueza.
This edited volume highlights how individuals, communities and nations are addressing a history of protracted violence in the transition to peace. This path is not linear or straightforward. The volume integrates research from peace processes and practices spanning over 20 countries. Four thematic areas unite these contributions: formal transitional justice mechanisms, social movements and collective action, community-driven processes, and future-oriented initiatives focused on children and youth. Across these chapters, the volume offers critical insight, new methods, conceptual models, and valuable cross-cultural research. The chapters in this volume balance locally-situated realties of peace, as well as cross-cutting similarities across contexts. This book will be of particular interest to those working for peace on the frontlines, as well as global policymakers aiming to learn from other cases. Academics in the fields of psychology, sociology, education, peace studies, communication, community development, youth studies, and behavioral economics may be particularly interested in this volume.
Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...

Transitional Justice Theories is the first volume to approach the politically sensitive subject of post-conflict or post-authoritarian justice from a theoretical perspective. It combines contributions from distinguished scholars and practitioners as well as from emerging academics from different disciplines and provides an overview of conceptual approaches to the field. The volume seeks to refine our understanding of transitional justice by exploring often unarticulated assumptions that guide discourse and practice. To this end, it offers a wide selection of approaches from various theoretical traditions ranging from normative theory to critical theory. In their individual chapters, the authors explore the concept of transitional justice itself and its foundations, such as reconciliation, memory, and truth, as well as intersections, such as reparations, peace building, and norm compliance. This book will be of particular interest for scholars and students of law, peace and conflict studies, and human rights studies. Even though highly theoretical, the chapters provide an easy read for a wide audience including readers not familiar with theoretical investigations.

Esta obra, resultado del trabajo de un equipo de investigación en el marco de una alianza entre la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia, la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, la Universidad Santo Tomás y la Universidad del Norte, está orientada a llenar el vacío que existe en Colombia en cuanto a estudios enfocados a establecer relaciones entre comunicación, desarrollo y medio ambiente. El libro combina una fuerte fundamentación conceptual sobre la temática, con la presentación de casos específicos de cuatro regiones del territorio colombiano: Amazonia, Orinoquia, Caribe y Pacífico, lo que facilitará su uso como texto guía, como libro de consulta para profesionales o como un referente para organizaciones que trabajan en el campo.
