Message from the founder

The only way to produce knowledge about other nations and cultures, and I would add, about oneself, without reproducing or neutralizing structures of domination and deployments of power, is through scientific cooperation, which alone can enable us to move step by step out of ethnocentric positions through mutual questioning, as well as the elaboration of common categories (concepts). 

Only in this way can everyone's expectations and fears be taken into account, and knowledge freed from domination can be produced. Clearly, this is a difficult undertaking. But there is no alternative to it.
