Title:
Innovative teaching actions to provide visibility to gender and sexual diversity in Antiquity
Date:
Academic year 2024-2025
Description:
This is the fourth Project of teaching innovation run by the members of the research group ARSMAYA that aim to keep improving gender perspective in education.
One of the main innovations of the 2024-2025 project is the elaboration of a digital exhibition of panels made by students under the teachers watch. These panels tackle on the theme of the project, which is thoroughly studied in 5 of the subjects of the Degree in Art History. To create these panels, specialized bibliographical material and historical recreations are used since they explore this them transversally.
We consider this exhibition represents a positive challenge and an invitation the reflect and stimulate critical thought as well as promote the abilities to express fundamental opinions publicly. It also generates study material to be shared and introduces students to the Art History in the area of exhibitions and museum arrangements, natural to this discipline.
Exhibition:
In order to encourage student participation, a competition was held once again this year. From the five subjects involved in the project, 15 winning panels were selected to be printed on foam board and publicly displayed in the Hall of the Faculty of Geography and History between 13 May and 13 June 2025. The opening of the exhibition at the Faculty of Geography and History coincided with the celebration of the 4th Teaching Innovation Conference organised by the ARSMAYA research group to evaluate the impact of the project. During this seminar, the winning and finalist groups in the competition had the opportunity to present and explain the panels they had created and to reflect on the results together with the teachers, speakers and audience.
At the bottom of the page, a gallery has been created where all the panels in the exhibition can be viewed.
