Through this course we seek to challenge the Eurocentric and USA-centric approach to social theory. We do this exploring the history of internal debates of Latin American social theory. We begin exploring what are epistemologies of the south. Then, we will simultaneously follow a chronological order and a thematic exploration. Chronologically, we will move from Indigenous belief systems, colonial experience and independence movements, through the current era. Thematically we explore race, ethnicity, gender, class, competing visions about the economy and political organization, technology and communications, and current debates surrounding decolonization/ decoloniality, “el buen vivir” (living well), and current challenges to sociological theory.
