Biography

He studied at the Colegio San Andrés. He entered the National University of San Marcos in which he graduated as an anthropologist. Later he obtained the title of doctor in sociology at the University of Bordeaux, France.

It was part of the Institute of Peruvian Studies since 1966 and its director in 1985.[2]

He was also a professor at the National University of San Marcos. He was a visiting professor at the University of Bologna and also worked at the Ortega y Gasset University Institute, at the Center for Constitutional Studies in Madrid, at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences in Quito, at The New School for Social Research, among others.

He is considered one of the most outstanding Peruvian thinkers. Through his work he sought to understand the origin and characteristics of the structural problems derived from the Peruvian social formation.[3]

gollark: I didn't say that that produces *good* outcomes for people involved.
gollark: Apparently the (or at least a) reason for this problem is that a degree works as a proxy for some minimum standard at stuff like being able to consistently do sometimes-boring things for 4 years, remember information and do things with it, and manage to go to class on time. So it's useful information regardless of whether the employer actually needs your specialized knowledge at all (in many cases, they apparently do not). And they're increasingly common, so *not* having one is an increasing red flag - you may have some sort of objection to the requirement for them, but that can't be distinguished from you just not being able to get one.
gollark: The solution, clearly, is to ban asking people if they have degrees when hiring, and force them to be tested on other things instead.
gollark: That wouldn't destroy it.
gollark: The most feasible way would probably be to deorbit the earth with MANY mass drivers.
