María Teresa Uribe de Hincapié (9 February 1940 – 1 January 2019)[1] was a Colombian sociologist, specialising in research into conflict and violence.

[4] Uribe studied sociology at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellín and later completed a master's degree in urban planning at the National University of Colombia there.

[1][2] There, she met Carlos Gaviria Díaz; he introduced her to the newly emerging field of political science, which began to influence her sociological work.

[4] Uribe retired from the university in 2005; in 2007 she was invited to participate in the country's first Historical Memory project, however, she was only able to be involved for six months due to poor health.

[2] Uribe was invited to contribute to a number of national and local political conversations during her career, such as roundtable negotiations with the 19 April guerilla movement, and talks with Medellín militia, aimed at de-mobilising paramilitaries.
