Escritos del Doctorado presents its 2012-2016 edition with the expectation of starting a program of dissemination of works that are representative of the academic life of the Doctorate in Social Sciences (DOCSOC). Volume I brings together prestigious Argentine academics such as Oscar Oszlak, Waldo Ansaldi and Alejandro Blanco, other Latin Americans such as Renato Ortiz and Delia Crovi and Spaniards, such as Pilar Monreal, who were lecturers of the race and share their exhibitions here. The issues addressed are coincident with the problems that concern our society and about which the doctorate considers that it should promote the generation and exchange of substantive knowledge to address them.
