Educational policies for the construction of cultural identity

Right to education expands with cultural identity: the right to choose one's own culture, the protection and development of one's own cultural identity, to choose education, are topics of study that transcend education as a social right (to education) to be one of quality (in education).

Health Services Research and Public Health Interventions

The research line focuses on research in health services and technologies applied to health, and on the design, implementation and evaluation of health promotion and disease prevention interventions.

Local government and social education policies

Analysis of the quality of the social education policies promoted by the Local Administration. Studies at regional, national and international level: social inclusion, training-employment, socio-cultural animation, gender equality, etc.

Organisation, management and evaluation of educational institutions

The goal of this line of research is to analyse the management, evaluation and innovation devices and technologies that shape the work in educational organisations today, as well as to investigate their effects on the processes of subjectivation of teachers and other educational agents.

Services for population in rural areas as territorial development factors

Public services in rural areas (education, health, social services, commercial activity, infrastructures, leisure, tourism and cultural facilities, etc.) as factors of demographic attraction, economic dynamization (incomes and labour market) and social cohesion. 

Truancy

Turancy, the unjustified and repeated absence from school of children of compulsory school age, is and educational and social problem. Little studied, focused on certain scools and neighbourhoods, its analysis and study allows us to improve the application of the right to education.
