OUR ACADEMIC AGENDA

               In the months of August and September, the Free University of Cali and the Colombian Institute of Criminology and Criminal Law served as hosts and organizers of the VIII International Congress of Criminology and Criminal Law, and the first Congress of Critical Thought, Reality and Law, which revolved around the CONTEMPORARY TRENDS, with international guests, works of the research groups recognized and categorized in Colciencias, which support the undergraduate and postgraduate of our Law program, and intervention of national speakers who accompanied us with presentations alluding to the themes of the congress.

               The magazine "Free Legal Criterion" of the Free Sectional University Cali, from its Faculty of Law, was present and receptive to host some of the interventions in these academic events where the discussion of the new contemporary trends of criminology and criminal law in its eighth version, opened the debate, consolidating as a space of international reflection that contributes with the permanent updating of the curriculum, showing it strengthened, with a living right facing the post-conflict and with the hope put in the peace agreements that put an end to the Colombian fratricidal war and an era begins where the protagonist is peace, post-conflict transitional justice, in perspective of a tolerant thought that allows to build a social thought and critical of the law. That is why the scenario and the themes that convened us are very important, especially the reflections that came from our own academic community and that contribute from their intelligence to the path that remains for us to travel.

               The reflections on justice and peace, the contributions of the constitutional right to a transitional justice from the post-conflict, the discussions related to social movements and law, the critical thinking of law in the Latin American perspective, the Andean Constitutionalism, the glances and hermeneutic advances in criminology and Constitutional and criminal law that make it possible to highlight effective and verifiable public policies, among other issues, invite the reflection of experts and laymen. The variety, diversity and plurality has allowed us to have a resounding success in the programmed events, with the conviction that the seed that is sown will contribute to continue with this effort to build thought and do academy, sometimes within the incomprehension and intolerance of sectors of politics, reluctant to peace agreements.

               On the other hand, we continue working from the Decanatura to strengthen the magazine, having as a course the PIDI (integral plan of institutional development) for the years 2016 -2025 (projection of the Faculty for 10 years in the goals, programs, projects and activities; With topics such as the internationalization of the faculty, mobility of teachers and students, that allow to make the Program of Law, Political and Social Sciences visible, we are working with a Budget to consult the needs of re accreditation of high quality of the Law program, the multi-campus institutional accreditation, and the national and international projection of the University.

               Thus, we continue insisting on the academic essay, the scientific paper to be published, which forms part of the research lines of the faculty and which supports the research groups, because from the Decanatura we exalt academic excellence and support teachers who want to participate in academic events such as Conferences, that accompany students from articulated nurseries to research groups with a presentation and that come from serious processes and time. At the same time, boosting intellectual production and research, the "editorial tables" are promoted, leading to the production of essays, articles and books by our research faculty.

               We aspire then, so that the magazine continues being a space of reflection and of encounter with the writing, for the investigations and articles of reflection that come from our academic community.
