ABSTRACT

This paper assesses how Argentine public universities responded to the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic in three dimensions: teaching and learning, scientific research and community engagement, and internationalization activities. For each of the dimensions, the actions developed, and the challenges encountered are presented. I argue that the response was quick and consistent: it is related to an academic culture that is framed in the right to university, both individual right (access, permanence, and graduation to all citizens) and collective right (benefit socio-community development). The article concludes with a preliminary analysis of the agenda items to advance regulations and policies. On several occasions a self-reflective exercise is carried out, as part of a community that is going through this situation of extraordinary urgency.

摘要

本文从三个方面评估了阿根廷公立大学如何应对Covid-19大流行的危机：教学与学习，科学研究和社区参与以及国际化活动。对于每个维度，都提出了所采取的行动以及遇到的挑战。我认为回应是迅速而一致的：它与一种大学文化中所界定的学术文化有关，包括个人权利（所有公民的获得，永久和毕业权利）和集体权利（福利社会社区发展） 。本文最后对议程项目进行了初步分析，以推进法规和政策。在经历这种紧急情况的社区中，有几次进行了自我反思。
