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 and Scientific Policies. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: This research group will be dedicated to the study of collective identities of nation, gender, class and race in a comparative and transnational perspective in the contemporary era (19th to 21st centuries). These areas will be approached from an intersectional perspective, paying attention to the interactions and multiple nature of collective identities. The group proposes to focus the study of collective identities from an interdisciplinary perspective with special attention to the social and cultural history of collective identities. This entails the study of political cultures, social movements, popular and mass culture, written culture and visual culture. The spatial framework of the group encompasses Europe, Americas and Africa.
