Cátedra Libre

A Cátedra Libre is an academic initiative, usually within a university, that promotes independent, open discussion and research on specific topics. It functions as a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, activism, and critical thinking, often addressing social, political, or cultural issues. Unlike traditional courses, it emphasizes free inquiry, collaboration, and public engagement, encouraging students, academics, and the community to explore and understand complex subjects beyond formal curricula. The goal is to foster informed debate and contribute to societal reflection and change on pressing issues.
