Globalization of knowledge construction

To my surprise, conducting a research study or inquiring on Latin American Philosophy proved to be more complex than originally envisioned. The lack of expertise or awareness within a philosophy department on this philosophical current was a peculiar insufficiency within one department. However after investigating several other philosophy departments, this insufficiency resulted in a widespread outcome in most philosophy departments. After discussing these inquiries and research interests with fellow peers and faculty members, similar experiences were expressed that shaped a recognizable pattern of denial among philosophy departments. If Latin American Philosophy is unaccounted for in several philosophy departmental curricula, what other philosophy currents are not included? Essentially, each university emphasizes particular research currents as a result of several elements guiding philosophical precedence that are examined throughout this thesis.
