AN APPROACH TO MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE AGUASCALIENTES
Synopsis
According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) declaration of April 27, 2020, on December 31, 2019, the presence of a new coronavirus was confirmed, causing multiple cases of pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, China. Due to its spread and severity, on March 11, 2020, the WHO declared that a pandemic level had been reached (WHO, 2020). In Mexico, on March 24, 2020, an agreement was published in the Official Journal of the Federation (DOF) to establish preventive measures and mitigate the health risks caused by SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19).
This pandemic has made 2020 an extremely challenging year for the entire world. In Aguascalientes, Mexico, we continued with our usual lives during the first quarter; however, in the last week of March, our university implemented health measures to protect its community, which included confinement, the implementation of distance learning, and the suspension of all academic meetings scheduled for that year. This situation, recognized as the "new normal," spurred the creativity of the university community to adapt planned activities and design emerging projects.
In July, the 21st edition of the Research Seminar, convened annually by the General Directorate of Research and Postgraduate Studies with the purpose of disseminating "results of scientific, humanistic, and technological research, as well as strengthening the integration of networks and research groups" (SI, 2020), should have been held.
Given that the Seminar could not be held this year, the Department of Research Support generated an emerging project through which it invited professors from all UAA centers, who had completed research projects, to develop a book chapter for a publication that would allow the recognition of the different disciplines from which research is conducted at our university.
In the act of bringing together in a single publication the diversity of projects - from Agricultural Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Design and Construction Sciences, Economic and Administrative Sciences, Natural and Exact Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities - carried out by an academic community that shares the values, mission, vision, and resources - human and material - provided by an institution, an opportunity is recognized to reflect on the notion of system exposed by Mario Bunge, who was one of the Spanish-speaking scientists who has marked a large number of Latin American research.
