Education and Diversity LGTBIQ+ - EDi

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2017-390

 
Description of research activity:
For decades, universities have progressively incorporated teaching and research structures related to affective-sexual diversity and gender identity. This trend soon spread beyond the English-speaking world to other cultural environments such as Europe and Latin America. The group Education and LGTBIQ+ Diversity (EDi) aims to fill a gap in terms of structures of this type at the UV, specifically in the educational field, and, on the other hand, is created with the intention of being an interdisciplinary research area for several people who have in common the concern for the educational world and the urgency of working (from research and practice) for a fairer and freer school, in which the diversity present in societies is reflected and valued. The members of the group belong to different areas of knowledge linked to education. From general didactics and specific didactics, they participate in the training task in the degrees of Early Childhood Education and Primary Education of the UV and other universities in the state, in the Postgraduate Course in Reading and Literary Education in the 21st Century (UV), the Master¿s Degree in Teacher Training (UV), the Master¿s Degree in...For decades, universities have progressively incorporated teaching and research structures related to affective-sexual diversity and gender identity.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • To investigate in an interdisciplinary manner the diversity of family, affective-sexual and gender identity in the educational context.
  • To investigate the sources (literary, audiovisual, etc.) that students draw upon when seeking to understand the world, and the extent to which diversity is reflected in these contexts.
  • Generate knowledge (teaching content, conference presentations, publications...) related to the object of study.
  • Promote symposia, conferences and congresses related to diversity in my educational field
  • To develop, based on research results, didactic proposals in the different areas of knowledge and at the various educational levels to work positively on diversities and their intersections.
  • To provide advice and deliver training in collaboration with community groups, associations, CEFIRE and other organisations.
  • Promote the production of undergraduate theses, master's theses and doctoral dissertations on family, affective-sexual and gender identity diversity in education.
  • Systematize and organize the work carried out at the University of Valencia in relation to LGTBIQ+ diversity in a database accessible to the university community and society.
 
Research lines:
  • Diversity studies and their connection to the educational world.LGTBQI+ studies and their link to the educational world, Queer and Crip theories and their educational implications, the changes of recent years and the latest research on these issues in the international academic spehere. It is also interested in the changes brought about by equality laws and their consequences in schools, and in the ideas and beliefs of teachers and university students about diversity in the classroom.
  • Diversity in the materials, spaces and classroom activities: educational proposals.Proposals linked to the presence of diversity in classrooms at different educational levels: classroom materials, treatment of spaces, textbooks and other school materials in reation to the presence and treatment of affective-sexual diversity and gender identity, the treatment of the body and non-normative bodies. Studies on the references (literary, audiovisual...) of students when it comes to knowing and understanding the world, and the presence and treatment of diversity in these contexts.
  • Intersectionalities: LGTBIQ diversity and the other diversities.Research on the intersectionalities between LGTBIQ+ diversity and other factors such as social class, exclusion, gender, ethnicity, culture, migration and functional diversity. This line of work addresses the complexity of bodies and lives from an intersectional point of view; that is, from the idea that we are traversed by different identities that shape and define us, and from the importance of this issue when addressing diversity in the classroom.
