| Sumario: | Throughout the 1950s and 1960s the social sciences in Latin America went through a process of “modernization” and began providing operational support for many economic and social planning initiatives driven by the governments across the region. As part of this agenda, the Latin American Demographic Centre (CELADE) became a space for research focused on demographic issues and related topics (demography, the labour market, internal migration, and social structures). This regional organization has proved to be a useful space where we can monitor the movement of knowledge and training of new experts. Despite this, and its association with the Economic Commission for Latin America (CEPAL), the work that CELADE carried out is virtually unknown. For this reason, we have decided to examine the staff, and education and research programs sponsored by CELADE through an analysis of various institutional sources (reports, memorandums, staff directories). After this, we will discuss the role and the relationship the centre had with Argentina in the training of researchers and scholars, and with its local institutions such as the Sociology Department, as well as the Faculty of Economics, at the Buenos Aires University (UBA), the National Council of Development (CONADE) and the Torcuato Di Tella Institute (ITDT). |
