Regional dimensions of social movements, such as women, human rights, indigenous peoples, artists and environmentalism. Processes of institution-building and participatory mechanisms at the regional level, where societal forces and social movements enter into relationships with states and regional institutions. These themes will be developed through a regular interdisciplinary seminar at ides. The program also includes conferences, roundtables and colloquia. Materials resulting from the activities of the program will be published in working documents and other publications.
Fellowships are open to senior and junior scholars.
Fellowships are open to researchers who work on processes of integration in mercosur, as well as to those who can bring a comparative perspective based on other regional integration processes. Fellows are expected to participate in the regular academic activities at ides, a multidisciplinary nonprofit organization that gathers students and researchers in the social sciences and humanities, and to make a public presentation of their project. The program will facilitate the contact and participation of fellows in academic activities organized by other institutions in the city.
