Sandra Harding, distinguished research professor of education, has taken part in founding a new open access journal: “Tapuya: Latin American Science, Technology and Society.” The journal is created with sponsorship from the Universidad de Las Americas Puebla in Mexico and the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, Latin American Institute and Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Teresa McCarty, UCLA professor of education, is a member of the journal’s international advisory board.
Harding said that “Tapuya” will enable a network of innovative conversations within Latin America, between Latin America and Euro-American cultures, and across global peripheries, with respect to the complexity of the science, technology and society landscape. The journal will examine issues, perspectives and methods most relevant to Latin America.
The journal’s name is derived from the Quechua word “tapuy,” which means knowers who question.
“Tapuya: Latin American Science, Technology and Society” was launched in early September. For a look at “Tapuya,” click here.
