We dialogue with debates on the nature and modalities of social memory, its transnational deployment and the relationship between memory and power; transitional and environmental justice and its link with human rights; educational policies and inequality in the classroom; urban justice and the anthropology of science (citizen science and technological sovereignty); and the study of archaic societies.
