Since its creation in 2005, HARED has stood out as a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research group. It is oriented to develop social studies that promote the understanding of society from the plurality of its dimensions, recognizing simultaneously its complexity and dynamism.
HARED is classified in category B of Colciencias and is composed of 47 active researchers, both national and foreign, with undergraduate and postdoctoral training in different fields of knowledge. Two of them are associate researchers, and eight are junior researchers.
The group is in charge of the UIS digital journal Cambios y Permanencias and of the Archivo Oral de Memoria de las Víctimas (AMOVI-UIS).
