Los nuevos diálogos sobre paradigmas y la investigación cualitativa. Un compromiso en la relación universidad-sociedad

Abstract

This work addresses a particular society-university link: the complex methodology/social problems/public policy and a social justice change possibility. In this link, results derived from academic debate around qualitative and quantitative methodologies impacts public policy and local, regional, national and planetary resources distribution. It is proposed here that dialogue and collaboration is needed between paradigms and academic communities, and that failing to do so will gear to even more authoritarian explanations, policies and practices about social problems.
