In July 2025, the National University of Córdoba (UNC) received a visit from Professor Enrique Martín Criado from the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO). His stay took place within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme and through a specific agreement between both institutions.
A broad and interdisciplinary group of professors from various academic units at the UNC collaborated in planning his activities, ensuring that his training initiatives benefit undergraduate students, postgraduate students, fellows, thesis students, chair teams, research teams, and outreach teams.
Several members of the INCASI network affiliated with the UNC participated in this collaborative group: Dr María Celeste Gómez (Faculty of Economic Sciences), Dr Cecilia Jiménez (Research Centre, Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities), Dr Andrea Pujol (Faculty of Psychology), Dr María José Magliano (Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities), Dr Lorena Capogrossi (Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities), Dr Juliana Huergo (Faculty of Medical Sciences), **Eduardo Rodríguez Rocha** (Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities), and Dr Patricia Mariel Sorribas (Faculty of Psychology).
One of the activities carried out by Prof. Martín Criado was the Free Postgraduate Course “Sociological Analysis of Discourse”, authorised by RD-2025-701-E-UNC-DEC#FP. Forty-five people participated in this instance.
Another activity was the “MEETING between UNC researchers and Enrique Martín Criado”, held on 4 July at the ADIUC union headquarters.
Following the initial presentation by Prof. Martín Criado, rounds of presentations were organised on research agendas and theoretical-methodological problematizations, structured around different thematic axes:
Youths: ‘Cordoban youths in public spaces. Subjective register, violence, and political experiences’, A. Bonvillani and M. Roldán
Education:
‘International, foreign, and migrant students at university’, C. Jiménez and F. Maggi.
‘Problems and challenges of contemporary sociology of education’, S. Servetto and A. Tessio.
Research methodology:
‘Reflections for critically rethinking fieldwork’, M.J. Magliano and L. Capogrossi.
‘Methodological contributions for addressing digital experiences of children and adolescents’, J. Huergo and I. Ibáñez.
‘Methodological tools for investigating youth mobilities in secondary school’, G. García Bastán.
‘The narrative interview and workshop as devices for co-analysis of critical incidents with professionals and youth references’, H. Paulín.
‘Human rights in question. Theoretical-methodological reconsiderations in research on rights and their enforceability with populations under punitive social control’, Mariel Castagno and Melisa Herranz.
Discourse analysis:
‘Discursive approaches to communication/culture’, B. Espoz Dalmasso.
The Dr Ana M. Morero, a member of the INCASI network affiliated with the University of Barcelona and currently undertaking a research stay during the month of July, also participated in this instance.
In addition to those who presented, another 60 people who had previously registered took part in this meeting. Attendees ranged from undergraduate students to researcher-teachers from both the UNC and other higher education, science, and technology institutions.
Finally, following a working lunch with authorities from the UNC Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Martín Criado participated in a “Conversatory with Dr Enrique Martín Criado”, a dialogue space centred on social research from a sociological perspective, focusing on the trajectory of the visiting researcher. Organised and coordinated by the Research Workshop (5th year Sociology Degree), it included researchers from this academic unit as well as final-year students from the Sociology Degree at FCS/UNC. Two INCASI members also attended: Dr Ana M. Morero and Dr Patricia Mariel Sorribas.
