Research Group on Education, Knowledge and Emancipation - GREDUC

We are a multidisciplinary study and research group in the field of education at the Universitat de València. Although we carry out research on different topics, we have in common a critical and post-critical epistemological view of education. Taking these elements as a starting point, we have been moving towards a commitment to a different way of understanding research, clearly linked to social transformation. Cooperation, the exchange of scripts and proposals and the dialogic circle are the strategies that accompany us.

Our lines of research are directed towards the initial and ongoing training of educators in various socio-educational contexts. Narrative research, experience and the educational relationship are our tools for advancing research in the fields of education, knowledge and emancipation.

Academic production should free itself from an unhealthy individualistic tradition, therefore, we are committed to the creation of spaces in which to enable curating, reflection and collective creation. In this sense, the group reflects a diversity of situations and stages in research. Some of the members of the group have already defended their theses and others are in the process of writing them.

The coordination of the group is based, in particular, on defining the problems and difficulties in educational research.
