Construction / Emerging Invention of Unequal Populations in Latin American Education Year of publication: 2017 Author: Jesús Aguilar Nery Corporate author: Universidad de San Andrés | Arizona State University This text explores the emergent construction of “unequal” populations in Latin-America, focusing on three national traditions: Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. It compares who has been named as unequal in educational research and under what categories, and treats this comparison as an indicator for understanding the phenomenon of educational inequalities in the region between 1960 and 1970. It is concluded that the rules used to enforce inclusion, equality and equity are, at the same time, standards and divisions that involve the construction of systems of reasoning that also simultaneously include and exclude. Construcción/Invención Emergente de Poblaciones Desiguales en la Educación Latinoamericana Year of publication: 2017 Author: Jesús Aguilar Nery Corporate author: Universidad de San Andrés | Arizona State University En este texto se indaga la emergencia de la construcción/invención de poblaciones “desiguales” en Latinoamérica, enfocando tres tradiciones nacionales: Argentina, Brasil, y México. Se compara quiénes han sido denominados como desiguales en la investigación educativa, y bajo qué categorías, esto como un indicador para la comprensión del fenómeno de las desigualdades educativas en la región entre las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Se concluye que las reglas utilizadas para ampliar la inclusión, la igualdad o la equidad son, al mismo tiempo, estándares y divisiones, que implican la construcción de sistemas de razonamiento que incluyen tanto como excluyen. 
Education and Social Cohesion in Latin America: A Micro-political Perspective Year of publication: 2014 Author: Silvina Gvirtz | Jason Beech Corporate author: Universidad de San Andrés | Arizona State University This article analyses the relation between education and social cohesion in Latin America from a micropolitical perspective. Even though we acknowledge the relevance of the macro and mezzo levels, we argue that the political decisions that are made at the school level are crucial to understand the contribution of educational systems to social cohesion. We suggest that the relation between social cohesion and school micropolitics can be analysed in two dimensions: the first is related to the access and permanence of children in school, while the second is related to the curriculum. The article concentrates on the second level by analysing the relation between the curriculum and social cohesion from a local, a national, and a global perspective. Educación y Cohesión Social en América Latina: Una Mirada desde la Micropolítica Escolar Year of publication: 2014 Author: Silvina Gvirtz | Jason Beech Corporate author: Universidad de San Andrés | Arizona State University Este artículo ofrece una serie de reflexiones acerca de la relación entre educación y cohesión social en América Latina en la actualidad, tomando como eje la micropolítica de la escuela. Sin desconocer la importancia de los niveles macro e intermedio, se sugiere que las decisiones políticas que se toman en el nivel escolar son fundamentales para entender la contribución que hace el sistema educativo a la cohesión social. Sostenemos que existen dos niveles para pensar la cohesión social en la micropolítica de la escuela en América Latina: uno vinculado al acceso y permanencia de los niños y jóvenes en la institución y uno curricular. Tomando como eje el segundo de los niveles mencionados, proponemos que en términos del alcance de la cohesión social, la relación entre este concepto y la escuela puede ser pensada en tres dimensiones: la global, la nacional y la local.

It's about us!: reflections on education for active citizenship within the European Union Year of publication: 2013 Author: Milana Marcella, Tarozzi Massimiliano The article is structured in three main parts. Grounded in the scientific literature, the authors unpack the notion of citizenship as key educational concept based on multiple and diverse identities. Then, they outline the major steps undertaken at EU level to formalise and expand citizenship rights and to endorse citizenship education across the Union’s nationals, by showing that citizenship education is promoted more as a strategy for legitimising the Union rather than a participatory practice aimed at fostering democratic processes within Europe. Finally, they discuss the implications of these policy advancements from a social justice perspective, by advancing a critique of their political assumptions and, to some extent, the pedagogical approach they suggest.

Beyond COVID-19: A Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) As the world learns to live with COVID-19, to emerge from the current crisis, and to “build back better”, UN Women’s new Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice is a visionary but practical roadmap for putting gender equality, social justice, and sustainability at the centre of the recovery. The Feminist Plan maps the ambitious and transformative policies – on livelihoods, care, and the environment – that are needed to build a more equal and sustainable future. To get there, calls for context-specific policy pathways, tailored political strategies, and financing. The plan identifies key levers that can create change and the actors at global, national, local levels that need to take action to move towards this vision.
