• Cátedra Centroamérica

  Los objetivos programáticos de esta cátedra son dos: el primero es dar la oportunidad para recibir a intelectuales centroamericanos que están viviendo una condición de exilio, vulnerabilidad e inestabilidad laborales debido al cierre de los espacios democráticos en sus países de origen;  y el segundo, y no menos importante, es el fortalecimiento de la discusión acerca de los procesos de cambio que se están dando en Centroamérica, particularmente, los de erosión de sus instituciones democráticas y la puesta en marcha de prácticas autoritarias, en tanto que dichos procesos repercuten de distintas maneras en México y el resto de América Latina. Como parte de sus actividades, el titular de la Cátedra deberá promover actividades académicas para analizar la situación actual del istmo centroamericano.

• Seminar on Violence and Peace

  The Seminar was created with the idea of establishing a space for dialogue in which opinions converge from all spheres: academia, organized civil society, government agencies, journalists, and the student community. The Presidency of El Colegio, the Center for International Studies (CEI) and the coordinator of the Seminar, Dr. Sergio Aguayo, started the project in 2013. Since it is a forum for discussion, it has broad support in the community of El Colegio and of various of its academic Centers.

• Jean Bourgeois-Pichat Chair in Demography

  The Jean Bourgeois-Pichat Chair on Demography was created in October 2004 under the auspices of the French Embassy and with the support of El Colegio de México, the Institut National d'Études Démographiques (INED) and the Institut de la Recherche pour le Dévéloppement (IRD). It is named after a famous French demographer who participated in the founding of the INED in 1945, an institution that he directed between 1962 and 1971 after having served for ten years as Director of the United Nations Population Division (1953-1962). The purpose of this Chair is to recognize the extensive work of this demographer and, more broadly, the contributions of French schools of demography. The Chai promotes lectures which emphasize the importance of rigorous management of demographic methodologies to answer essential questions of the future of society with attention to implications for public policy.
