Abstract

Research on contemporary migration has increased steadily in Chile since the 1990s. There has also been a gradual emergence of studies on the causes and effects of racism. Bringing together approaches that insist on the need for inter-, multi-, or transdisciplinary approaches to the study of these issues, this article proposes the formulation of an interdisciplinary program on racism in Chile and the articulation of knowledge based on the critical-realist approach as a meta-theory of society. We propose that the ontological, epistemological, and methodological definitions of this meta-theory are highly competent in terms of interdisciplinarity and situated in the current context of the study of racism within contemporary migratory patterns in Chile.
