Synopsis

Since 2020, the social, political, and welfare conditions around the world have been violated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, according to World Health Organization (WHO) figures for December 2021, more than five million people’s lives have been taken, and millions more have fallen into poverty. And not to mention the sociopolitical issues emerging in Colombia in 2021, which caused social struggles that impacted lives, economy, and other areas in a country with a long way to go to build peace and transform the culture of war. However, this context has also created challenges that have led science, academia, and governments to be strategic, creative, and dynamic. Thus, the university has developed pedagogical, technological, and psychosocial plans and strategies to face and mitigate the impacts that barely start to emerge. Life will not be the same, but it has been moving towards a new way of living, capable of building solidarity, fraternity, accompaniment, and confrontation bonds.

This new version of the book presents reflections and the theoretical and the research analyses based on the actions of change in times of crisis that researchers from the research center have been developing. It is organized in two sections; the first has reflections on research in education and alternative pedagogical strategies that are being developed by the research center. In the second section, there are the reflections on research praxis, that is, research, projection, or social extension in both community and organizational contexts.
