This urgency necessitates an ethical commitment from the scientific community to collaborate and advance knowledge capable of addressing these critical issues. Central to this endeavour is understanding how knowledge is generated, particularly in the context of SDG 10, which focuses on reducing inequalities within and between countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This international seminar aims to spotlight a frequently overlooked inequality: the disparity in how knowledge is produced and disseminated, especially from the Global South and non-Anglophone contexts. Our objective is to foster a rich discussion, sharing experiences and research advances in interdisciplinary topics related to sustainable development, critical studies, social and human sciences, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and other critical findings originating from the Global South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seminar will concentrate on identifying barriers and critical topics in the publishing process within major circulation networks, such as Web of Science (WOS) journals, particularly for scholars from non-Anglophone backgrounds. We aim to explore opportunities for the Global South to contribute unique perspectives, topics, and notions born from legitimate otherness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This event is co-organized by the Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions (MAK\u2019IT, University of Montpellier) and the UMR-SENS Laboratory (CIRAD, IRD, University Paul-Val\u00e9ry). It is held in collaboration with the Global Understanding IGU Commission, ANID (Chilean Agency for Research and Development), and the University of Chile\u2019s Department of Geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-dba3c8ea wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/evento.renater.fr\/survey\/making-and-disseminating-environmental-knowledge-from-the-global-south-experiences-practices-and-challenges-for-sustainable-development-goals-on-reducing-knowledge-inequalities-ba2sy75f\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13:30&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Welcome Address by Patrick Caron, Montpellier Advance Knowledge Institute on Transitions, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13:40&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Introduction by Enrique ALISTE, University of Chile, Chile, and 2023-2024 MAK\u2019IT Fellow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Imperative of Reducing Knowledge Inequalities as an SDG Challenge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13:50&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SDGs: Discourses and Actions around the World<\/strong> (Moderator: Enrique ALISTE, University of Chile, Chile)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gabriela LITRE, University Paul Val\u00e9ry, France &amp; University of Brasilia, Brazil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Narratives and Language Barriers of the SDGs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>S\u00e9bastien VELUT, University Sorbonne Nouvelle, France.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A Geopolitical Overview for SDGs: Challenges for Latin America<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14:30&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Reactions and comments with Frances CLEAVER, University of Lancaster, UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14:55&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Networking Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>15h10&nbsp;&nbsp; Knowledges and Sciences from the Global South<\/strong> (Moderator: Geoffroy FILOCHE, UMR SENS, France)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carlos SANHUEZA, University of Chile, Chile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Cosmos Under Construction: Alexander von Humboldt and the Global Circulation of Knowledge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marta Inez MEDEIROS MARQUES, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil <em>(remotely)<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Metabolic Rift and Green Business in the Global South<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>15:50&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Reactions and comments with Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric THOMAS, IRD-SENS, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>16:15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Networking Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>16:30&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Controversies, Tensions, and Conflicts in Sciences: Voices from the South<\/strong> (Moderator: Eve BRATMAN, Franklin &amp; Marshall College, USA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mar\u00eda Gabriela MERLINSKY, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Environmental Conflicts and Knowledge Controversies<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rodrigo BOOTH, University of Chile, Chile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Construction of Global South Knowledge: Libraries, Sources, and Archives<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>17:10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Reactions and comments with Thaura GHNEIM-HERRERA, Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>17:35&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Discussion panel: concluding remarks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enrique ALISTE, University of Chile, Chile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patrick CARON, Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions, France.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tania LI, University of Toronto, Canada, and 2023-2024 MAK\u2019IT Fellow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>18:00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Networking Cocktail Reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speakers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enrique Aliste<\/strong>.
