Abstract

The developmental science literature predominantly originates from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) countries. This bias perpetuates colonial power imbalances and marginalizes non-WEIRD societies' knowledge. This special issue addresses this gap by focusing on Latin America, emphasizing the region's diverse socioeconomic, cultural, and political contexts. This commentary contextualizes research in Latin America, and then presents and discusses the articles. Finally, it presents some of the challenges researchers in Latin America face.

发展科学文献主要来自 WEIRD（西方、教育、工业化、富裕和民主）国家。这种偏见延续了殖民权力的不平衡，并使非 WEIRD 社会的知识边缘化。本特刊关注拉丁美洲，强调该地区多样的社会经济、文化和政治背景，从而弥补这一不足。本评论首先介绍了拉丁美洲的研究背景，然后对文章进行了介绍和讨论。最后，它介绍了拉丁美洲研究人员面临的一些挑战。
