This book brings together interdisciplinary research that addresses the challenges of health, environment, and education in Latin America from a critical and situated perspective. The chapters move from the analysis of mining corporate negligence and its devastating impacts on the health of vulnerable populations, to the reflection on school pathologization and the construction of childhood subjectivities, passing through the study of type 2 diabetes and the relevance of multidisciplinary support, the valorization of agro-industrial by-products such as avocado seed for cosmeceutical applications, therapeutic exercise as a complement in the treatment of major depressive disorder, and the dynamics of exhaustion and anxiety generated by educational neoliberalism. Each work offers a perspective that articulates knowledge from the health sciences, environmental sciences, and social sciences to understand the complexity of the phenomena shaping the region. The thematic diversity evidences the vitality of Latin American research and its commitment to transforming realities of exclusion and inequality.
