School segregation

The workstream on school segregation emerged in 2014 in the framework of the project “Schools in socio-economically challenging contexts: An approach from education for social justice” (State Plan I + D + i, Ref: EDU2014-56118 -P). A work mainly led and developed by members of the Educational Change Research Group for Social Justice who are currently part of the research and teaching team of the Chair.

This line aims to:

 

  • Report the situation of school segregation in Spain and Latin America, as well as analyze its causes and consequences.

 

  • Impact on public policies in Education for the fight against school segregation, through information to society, academia and policy-makers.

Some projects are:

 

  • “Measures to address School Segregation from the local Administration”, II Edition of the Program for the Promotion of Knowledge Transfer of the UAM.

 

  • “Schools in socio-economically challenging contexts: An approach from education for social justice” (State Plan I + D + i, Ref: EDU2014-56118-P).

During this time, the workstream has produced different diffusion products. In the academic field, 20 research articles have been published, more than 25 communications have been presented to International Congresses and 4 Doctoral Theses are being carried out.

The Chair has also developed different conferences in this field of knowledge. Also, it has participated in training courses and collaborated with associations linked to the educational field (for example, Associacions Federades de Famílies d’alumnes de Catalunya- AFFaC). In addition, there has been a presence in the media both at a national and international level, particularly in Latin America.
