SUMMARY:CONFERENCE | PARAGUAY: A 30-YEAR OLD DEMOCRACY\, PROGRESS AND CHALLENGES
DESCRIPTION:Public Conference \nSpeakers: \nLuis Ortiz\, Susana Sottoli and Javier Uriarte \nOver the last 30 years\, democracy as a social project in Paraguay became the focus of important efforts from all social and political actors. The relation between market freedom and social equality has been the source of heated debates in the process of reforming the different sectors of the country\, notably\, the educational system\, the economic structure\, and the government’s institutional design. Standing between two South American giants (Brazil and Argentina)\, Paraguay is a lesser known country. This event is a unique opportunity to gain familiarity with this country beyond its mere political history\, through the eyes and ideas of experts and Paraguayan intellectuals. The set of speakers offer a glimpse into the social foundation of Paraguayan political institutions\, the collective actions of different social actors\, the multiple historical and cultural mediations\, as well as the inevitable social contradictions that pose obstacles to the construction of the democratic regime in Paraguay. \nWelcoming remarks:\nMichael Cohen\, OLA Co-Director and SGPIA Professor on International Affairs\, The New School \nIntroduced by: \nJulio Cesar Arriola\, Permanent Representative of Paraguay to the United Nations. (TBD) \nSpeakers:\nLuis Ortiz\, PhD Sociology from Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS)\, OLA Visiting Fellow (2018-2019) \nSusana Sottoli\, PhD in Political Science from Heildelberg University\, UNICEF Deputy Director- Program Division at New York UN Headquarters \nJavier Uriarte\, PhD in Latin American Literature from New York University (NYU). Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University (SUNY) \nWEDNESDAY April 10th\, 2019 \n3:00pm – 5:00pm\n66 West 12th Street\, Room A712\, Orozco Room\nThe New School\, New York\nview the map \nThe event will be in English\nAdmission is free\, but seating is limited.

SUMMARY:Conference: Social Inequality and the Educational System in Paraguay
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America organizes a seminar to discuss the research of Luis Ortiz\, OLA Visiting Scholar 2018-2019. Professor Ortiz holds a PhD in sociology from the School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in France and an MA in social sciences from FLACSO in Mexico. \nHis research focuses on the relationship between education\, social welfare\, and labor inequalities in Paraguay over the last 30 years. These changes have two main characteristics: the general increase in school enrollment of the Paraguayan population and the persistence of social inequality. Ortiz explains that an educational reform at the beginning of this period played an important role in expanding access to education for the entire population. However\, in the face of an increasing concentration of the income\, the promise of “equality of opportunities” is not being fulfilled. Acute social inequalities question the possibility of satisfying these demands\, which opens a series of questions about the relationship between education and the social structure in the country during the next decade. \nMore information about this event here.
