Strategic Focus

We are a group from the School of Education that emerged in 2006 with the interest of generating spaces and processes for the understanding of the problems derived from the relationships between education, languages, aesthetic experience, teaching, narratives, discourses, subjectivities, and contexts. All of this stems from a critical and creative view of the educational reality and from an inter and transdisciplinary perspective. For the group, research education is an unfinished and dialogical process of understanding itself and the world inasmuch as it is assumed that research always educates and transforms.
