The Immanuel Wallerstein Chair is organized jointly by the Center for Advanced Studies (CEA) of the Faculty of Social Sciences, National University of Córdoba, Argentina, and the Institut für Sozialforschung (IfS), Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Affiliated institutions include the Latin American Council of Social Studies (CLACSO) and the Institute of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (IEALC) of the National University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Chair aims at promoting knowledge of the new critical perspectives produced in the Global South and Global North which seeks to study current processes of global social change.
It is a space for global dialogue, in which prominent intellectuals involved in the renewal of sociology, critical theory and social sciences converge.
The increasing globalization of the main problems experienced by societies on the periphery and in the center of the world requires the construction of new critical theories, as well as new channels for the socialization of knowledge that can back up the intellectual, scientific and political commitment to social change.
