A partnership between the	Action	Research	Network	of	the	Americas	(ARNA) and the	National	University	of	
Colombia.

=Description=

"The	conference,	ARNA’s	5th,	has	adopted	the	theme “Participation	and	Democratization	of	Knowledge:	New	Convergences	for	Reconciliation.” The	theme	recognizes	emerging	understandings	among	scholars,	other	professionals,	scholar-activists	and	citizens	in	the	Global	South	and	the	Global	North regarding	the	need	for	democratization	of	knowledge,	convergences	among	those	creating	
knowledge	through	diverse	approaches	grounded	in	participatory	frameworks	of	 thought	and	action,	and	the	place	of	such	approaches	in	reconciliations	associated	 with	the	end	of social	conflicts.	A	special	feature	of	the	five-day	gathering	is	the	 celebration	of the	40th Anniversary	of	the	First	World	Symposium	of	Action	 Research,	held	in	Cartagena	and	convened	by	Colombian	sociologist	Orlando	Fals	
Borda	(1925-2008).	The	life	and	work	of	Fals	Borda	will	be	highlighted	throughout	
the	conference and	the	days	leading	up	to	it,	including	a	video	presentation of	his	
address	at	the	1977	First	World	Symposium,	an exhibition	of his	scholarly	work and	 letters, and	special	pre-conference	recognition	ceremonies	in	the	Capitol,	Bogota,	
held	in	conjunction	with	the	150th Anniversary	of	the	founding	of	the	National	
University	of	Colombia."
