convergence of knowledge systems, socialwashing, greenwashing, public research center, typology

Abstract

Purpose. Build a typology of convergence of two knowledge systems: indigenous and/or local and scientific, for the determination of the connection and identification of causes of Socialwashing and Greenwashing practices through Research Centers, for its erradication through a multidisciplinary theoretical discussion for innovation sustainable.

Methodology. Systematic literature search and content analysis of the documents that establish the convergence between knowledge systems.

Findings. Theoretical contribution, typology that provides elements and lessons on how to connect two knowledge systems: scientific and indigenous and/or local, from epistemological, ontological, axiological and praxeological foundations, as well as the barriers that prevent effective social and environmental risk management. Practical contribution. As a guide for scientific, political, academic projects that interact with various knowledge groups such as farmers to legitimize and decentralize decision-making.

Originality. This research offers new guides for the union of knowledge systems based on transdisciplinarity from its philosophical foundations, as well as the identification of possible causes

of socialwashing and greenwashing practices given the barriers of efficient social and environmental risk management that prevent new sustainable solutions.

Conclusions and limitations. There are epistemological foundations that allow integration. Analysis through: management of indigenous and/or local knowledge, governance and inclusive innovation through research centers, help determine if you are prepared to respect and relate to various knowledge systems and their impact on society. as well as eradicate greenwashing and socialwashing practices. Scope is a literature review with data from SCOPUS.
