The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: The COSiDES research group is based on the deconstruction of the body as an anatomical-physiological entity in order to understand it as a social entity. The body is studied as a culturally ascribed social field in which various labels and social processes coexist, overlap and often contradict each other. We are a research group that produces critical sociological research using social science methodologies. We are especially interested in the processes of the construction of subjectivities in dialogue with identity categories (gender, age, sexuality, racialization), processes that we understand to be inherently relational, cultural and non-definitive. Our analyses have a multilevel scope: they can be found at the micro level of experiences, at the meso level in terms of the articulation of narratives by institutions and other social agents, or at the macro level of the exploration of social orders and public policies (educational, migratory, health) and their impact on the shaping of bodies and identities. We hold an intersectional perspective that pays special attention to conflict processes, dissidences, resistances and the creative dynamics of bodies and subjectivities.
