CLACSO Radio

CLACSO Radio is less a single-format talk show than a public intellectual network in audio form. Its episodes collect dialogues, special series, oral archives, institutional radio collaborations, and research-driven conversations from across Latin America. The register is deliberate. A topic is usually named, situated, and then widened through examples, concepts, and historical memory. That makes the show demanding, but not closed off. It often translates academic language into usable public questions. In one episode, political violence against women in Antioquia becomes a discussion of electoral aggression, intra-party abuse, digital violence, and feminist resistance. In another, a dialogue on regional politics treats the rise of the right as a structural phenomenon rather than a sudden electoral surprise. The urban conversations move through Latin American city-making, self-construction, popular knowledge, race, class, and the long consequences of reform and dictatorship. The memory work is especially grave. Archival voices from Plaza de Mayo carry the anguish of mothers searching for disappeared children, grandchildren, records, and accountability. Other episodes take a more essayistic path, asking how modern life is organized by acceleration, market time, ecological time, and care. The university appears as another battlefield, shaped by colonial inheritance but also by democratic repair from within. Youth politics enters through conversations on precariousness, violence, punishment, human rights, and the need to listen before legislating. Across the catalog, CLACSO Radio favors patient explanation over hot takes. It lets guests and source material carry weight. It also keeps returning to a central question: how Latin American societies remember, organize, resist, and imagine futures under unequal conditions. The result is serious public scholarship with a strong regional conscience.
