OTHER PEDAGOGIES: Transformations to educate in equality

Instituto de la mujer. Ref. 34/5ACT/21 (2022). PI Ingrid Agud

The legacy of educational knowledge presents the biases of a patriarchal structure. Feminist currents, inside and outside academia, have pointed out how knowledge supports multiple structures of oppression beyond the axis of gender. In this sense, it is necessary to incorporate voices and views from the margins that subvert pedagogical knowledge and practice. This questioning results in the commitment to a transgressive and anti-normative pedagogy that problematizes knowledge and educational practices from an intersectional perspective. Project Website
