GIORGULI, Silvia et al. Tribute to Susana Lerner. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.1, pp.249-267. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v28i1.1445.

The Center for Demographic, Urban and Environmental Studies at El Colegio de México paid tribute to research professor Susana Lerner Sigal for 45 years of outstanding academic career.

At the ceremony, her various academic contributions were listed, such as the substantive boost she gave to the development of Mexican socio demography, a task she has always undertaken from an interdisciplinary perspective using an original approach, constructed collectively, which captures the diversity, heterogeneity and social, historical, institutional and cultural inequality that characterize our society. In her unusual career, Susana Lerner has also participated in achieving specific changes in Mexican social reality, such as the state’s recognition and guarantee of fundamental reproductive rights.

The Tribute to Susan Lerner Sigal was held on February 24, 2012 in the Alfonso Reyes Hall at El Colegio de México. Silvia Giorguli, Claudio Stern, Carolina Martínez S., Soledad González Montes, Brígida García and Orlandina de Oliveira served as commentators, with Ivonne Szasz as moderator. Lastly, Susana Lerner issued a brief message of thanks. The addresses of each of the speakers are given below, in order of presentation.
