Students and sex/gender violence in the university. Community action proposals at UNAM (2017-2019)

Abstract

Abstract. This work is based on the experience in two workshops on gender and com­munity action held in the Degree in Pedagogy of the FFyL of the UNAM. It begins with the formative and transformative role that involves the reading of essential texts of feminism, gender studies, masculinities and queer theory in the workshop space. It continues with a theorization about the “constant of violence” as sex/gender violence in education and the uni­versity. In a third section, it sets out the precepts of the so-called community actions, and their relationship with the reconstruction of the social fabric and the sex/gender regimes, closing with examples of some of the actions carried out by students between 2017 and 2019, based on various problems of violence in the university community..
