Estimados/as Académicos/as,

Les extendemos la invitación al seminario organizado por el Departamento de Administración, en el que se presentará el artículo: "A Mestizo Inspired Vista for Organization Studies in Latin America".

Expone: Felipe Symmes, EGADE Business School, Tec de Monterrey

Abstract: We propose a Mestizo-inspired vista to navigate the tensions between contextual relativism and decontextualized universalism that scholars encounter when studying organizational phenomena in Latin America. This vista is rooted in the region’s complex legacy of mestizaje, a colonial process involving the (often-violent) fusion of Indigenous, African, and European cultural and racial groups. Drawing on social science scholarship and the work of Mexican intellectual and poet Octavio Paz, we argue that a Mestizo-inspired vista enables scholars to reconcile aesthetics (subjective positionings stemming from feelings and affections) with rationality (the power of reason in search of objective or scientific truth) when studying organizations in the region.

El evento será en formato presencial, en la sala H-103.

Saludos cordiales,

Dirección de Investigación
