Cátedra institucional Lasallista 2017
En el marco del proceso de paz colombiano, La Universidad de la Salle promueve escenarios donde se tejan tiempos de paz. En la novena versión de la Cátedra Institucional Lasallista se generaron escenarios de debate democrático y de construcción de conocimiento, los cuales nos animaron a continuar este camino, así como a preguntarnos por el tipo de sociedad en la que deseamos vivir y por los escenarios que queremos construir para las generaciones futuras. La Cátedra Institucional Lasallista somete a debate las comprensiones que desde los actores sociales y las disciplinas académicas se tienen en torno al concepto justicia social.

Water and Cities in Latin America
Approximately 80 per cent of the population of Latin America is concentrated in urban centres. Pressure on water resources and water management in cities therefore provide major challenges. Despite the importance of the issues, there has been little systematic coverage of the topic in book form. This work fills a gap in the literature by providing both thematic overviews and case study chapters. It reviews key aspects of why water matters in cities and presents case studies on topics such as groundwater management, green growth and water services, inequalities in water supply, the financing of water services and flood management. Detailed examples are described from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, and there is also a chapter comparing lessons which might be learnt from US cities. Contributing authors are drawn from both within and outside the region, including from the Inter-American Development Bank, OECD and World Bank to set the issues in a global context.
Creativity and Collaborative Learning
Using cooperative and partner learning models, this newly revised book illustrates how professionals can enhance their powers of creativity to facilitate learning and respond to academic and behavioral challenges, preK-12.
Hidden Hunger
Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.
Decolonial Feminisms, Power and Place
This book draws on participatory ethnographic research to understand how rural Colombian women work to dismantle the coloniality of power. It critically examines the ways in which colonial feminisms have homogenized the "category of woman,” ignoring the intersecting relationship of class, race, and gender, thereby excluding the voices of “subaltern women” and upholding existing power structures. Supplementing that analysis are testimonials from rural Colombian women who speak about their struggles for sovereignty and against territorial, sexual, and racialized violence enacted upon their land and their bodies. By documenting the stories of rural women and centering their voices, this book seeks to dismantle the coloniality of power and gender, and narrate and imagine decolonial feminist worlds. Scholars in gender studies, rural studies, and post-colonial studies will find this work of interest.
