Hacia una agenda social de las universidades latinoamericanas del siglo XXI: una perspectiva teórica-epistémica y política

Abstract

espanolEn este articulo se busca identificar las caracteristicas mas sobresalien-tes de la discusion sobre la interaccion de las instituciones de educacion superior con su entorno social, asi como las necesidades y problemati-cas sociales que demandan mayores esfuerzos de formacion e investi-gacion tecnocientifica en America Latina. Se parte de la premisa de que existe un contexto economico, social y politico que reclama una mayor presencia de las universidades en la atencion de las problematicas so-ciales; y que para ello es necesario delimitar tanto la nocion conceptual y operativa de los actores sociales como las grandes problematicas ha-cia las que se debe apuntar, en lo cual se avanza en este trabajo. EnglishThis paper seeks to identify the most salient features of the discussion on the interaction of higher education institutions with their social surroundings, as well as the social needs and problems that demand greater training and techno-scientific research efforts in Latin America. It is based on the premise that there is an economic, social and political context that demands a greater presence of universities in the attention of social problems; and that for this it is necessary to delimit both the conceptual and operative notion of the social actors and the major problems to which they must aim, in which progress is made in this work.
