Universidad y gobernanza: la política de los saberes

Abstract

These are some notes on the university and governance. To address these reflections, we have used the concept of the politics of knowledge. We understand the politics of knowledge to be the central role that the university plays in the organization and management of societies and national states from the very origin of the university to the planetary challenge of preserving life. For this reason, we present its characteristic notes, missionary and academic culture, in the case of the Universidad Santo Tomás, in the perspective of the definition of its nature as a university of general studies: a teaching university that develops research with a social orientation.
