Abstract

The beginnings of a research career in Argentina and its subsequent continuation in Spain are the basis of a reflection about how important social networks are when it comes to aspire to an academic position, and how marginal is the situation of the migrants who lack them. The author's biographical journey serves to underline differences between academic institutions of both countries, as well as point out the unavoidable adjustments relating to objects of study between personal leanings and adaptation needs, and finally, to defend the advantages in terms of sociological insight derived from living between two continents.
