Strategic Focus

The Gender, Subjectivity, and Society [Género, Subjetividad y Sociedad] Group aims to become a leading group on gender studies and feminist research. It also seeks to promote research training based on feminist methodologies and epistemology in an effort from human and social sciences to articulate academia, political activism, and social action in the sociocultural context.

Finally, the group aims to impact university problems such as the ongoing existence of epistemic, sexual, and gender violence expressions at the university.
