No. 9 (2014): Gender, education and attention to diversity

The probability of belonging to a group at risk of social exclusion is increasing due to the effects of the socioeconomic crisis that current societies are suffering. The affiliation of gender is a transversal factor that rebounds in situations like the one mentioned. On the other hand, the need to integrate the study of this variable within the educational field continues to be a great challenge and constitutes the central theme of this monograph, which we will introduce by making some brief conceptual clarifications.

The main objective of the magazine “Cuestions de género: de la igualdad y la diferencia” is the dissemination of research that, based on a gender perspective, can contribute to a better understanding of social situations. We understand that this purpose is at the base of any intervention proposal in practice, since theoretical and empirical knowledge is absolutely essential to make accurate diagnoses on which to base social transformations. That is why we have chosen this work topic for this issue.
