Group: Laboratory of Regional Environmental Knowledge (LASAR)
The LASAR is a Laboratory of the ISHIR-CONICET/UNR, which aims to think, debate and reflect on environmental problems, in dialogue with gender and History. It is an interdisciplinary research space open to historians, researchers from various disciplines, teachers, students and people involved in the subject from activism and militancy. With these objectives, it is postulated as a transversal area of dialogue to share knowledge about the environment focused on a regional key and that provides a socio-historical perspective on it. Furthermore, it is thought of as a space that acts as a link between academic and societal actors (NGOs, activists, teaching, etc.) linked to the environment, in order to connect the wealth of knowledge that each of them contributes.
The Laboratory develops three axes of work, linked to the current areas of interest of the coordinators: Agroecology, Food Sovereignty and Environmental Education.
Project 1
1. Title: The ecological under the prism of the history of justice. From Environmental Law to the Rights of Nature: subjects of law, institutions and legal traditions (Argentina, XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries)
2. Brief Overview: This research traces the notions of environmental justice and ecological justice from their respective roots in anthropocentrism and biocentrism, reflecting on the content and uses of each in various instances of socio-environmental conflict. Drawing on diverse perspectives and engaging with Law, Anthropology, Sociology, and Biology, it contributes to understanding the origins of animal protectionism in Argentina, as well as methodological strategies for analyzing the exploitation and trade of common goods such as certain wildlife inhabiting the province of Santa Fe. Furthermore, it proposes options for transferring this knowledge to the educational sphere through Biocentric Education.

Project 2
1. Title: Women who feed families: innovation processes in production, marketing and value addition in agroecological production systems in southern Santa Fe.
2. Brief Overview: This research aims to generate knowledge relevant to agroecology and to develop a system of social and technological knowledge (STS) that enables the gender-sensitive development of an innovative pricing mechanism that reflects the material conditions of production, that is, the productive and reproductive time involved. We operate within an interpretive framework that recognizes the contributions of agroecological production to overcoming economic, gender, and environmental inequalities; and to this end, it is essential to value the experiences of women agroecological food producers.
