Academic honorary distinctions in Latin America

Overview

Academic researchers in Latin America have received prestigious honorary distinctions. In Argentina, the International Organization for Inclusion and Educational Quality (OIICE) awarded Diana Isabel Hernández Juárez, a professor at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), an honorary doctorate and the Golden Magisterial Order. The recognition honors her 33-year career focusing on feminist literature, sexual diversity, and gender-perspective journalism.

Additionally, the Universidad Nacional de Itapúa (UNI) in Paraguay announced it will confer the title of Doctor Honoris Causa upon Dr. Jesús Martínez Frías. Dr. Martínez Frías, a researcher with the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), is the founder of the Spanish Network of Planetology and Astrobiology (REDESPA). Through a memorandum of understanding with REDESPA, UNI has become the only Latin American university included in the Artemis II lunar mission.
