The main goal of this subject is to construct a history of feminism in education through the essential questioning, theories, methodologies and interpretations in the development of historical research. The focus of the course is to understand those pedagogic practices located at the margins of education and, at the same time, engage in the writing of a feminist history from the margins. Feminist contributions will shape the histories and narratives constructed from the present of education, for a research based on experiential narratives, subjectivities, bodies and affects. The subject tackles the interaction between feminism and education from a historical perspective, visibilizing simultaneously the history of vulnerable communities and those of the so labelled ‘others’ in education, feminist strategies in historical research and the pedagogical initiatives which have sprung from them. This re-construction of subdued knowledges and invisibilized lives of vulnerable collectives and subjectivities entails learning new forms of narrating and documenting education.

The subject will follow Project Based Learning methods (PBL). The students will choose a project to develop after a number of lectures and an initial essay. They will be provided with relevant material in the first stages of their project. These projects will be divided in several phases, and they will include the following tasks:
Readings and reflections on the project´s texts
- Data research and construction of a historical research problem
- Historical research through case studies
- Filming and edition of a documentary on the studied cases
- Oral presentations
The students will also be supervised throughout the development of their Project.

The timeline of the subject will be the following:
- The student will individually prepare a narrative through objects and settings in the appropriate historical contexts and theories of education with a gender perspective (15%)
- In groups, the students will develop a project that will follow these phases: readings and reflections (20%); drafting and conducting the research (25%); filming and editing of a documentary (25%); oral presentation (15%).
Throughout the process, the students will be informed through Moodle of the procedures and revisions of their qualifications.
Reassessment. Those students who have not passed one or more assessed items but who have attended the classes and followed the subject will be given the chance to reassess it. They will be asked to hand in an additional essay or to rewrite some of the coursework
Each case will be approached individually and, if necessary, a date will be set to sit a reassessment exam at the end of the course (subject to the publication of the official calendar of the Facultat de Filosofia i Lletres).
Coursework which will not be reassessed. The final project will not be reassessed because it will be surpervised throughout its development in supervisions and seminars. Therefore, the evaluation will consider the improvements and implementations suggested by the teachers, and the whole development of ideas.
The student will receive a Not Assessed qualification when he/she will not send more of the 30% of the assessment activities.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tasks cannot be taken onsite,they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
