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.

Queer theory and phenomenology: perceptions, desires, learning processes

UNIT 3. FEMINIST NARRATIVES IN 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 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.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The timeline of the subject will be the following:
- Individual evaluation activities, in which students will have to reflect on historical contexts and theories of education with a gender perspective (40%)
- As a group, students will develop a documentary project that will be evaluated in the following phases and activities: presentation of a project proposal (10%), filming, editing and presentation of a documentary (35%) and submission of a report or memory of the project (15%).
Requirements to pass. Students must obtain a minimum of 4 points in each activity (individual and group) to calculate their averages. Therefore, the participation in and submission of both activities are mandatory.
At the time of completion of each evaluation activity, the teachers will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of revision of the qualifications.
Resist. Students who have adequately followed the subject during the course and, despite this, still have some aspect not passed, will have the opportunity to pass the subject by doing additional autonomous work or redoing any of the activities delivered or carried out. Each case will have to be studied based on the situation of each student and, if necessary, a day will be set to make recoveries, once the class period is over (pending publication of the calendar and schedules on the Faculty website of Philosophy and Letters).
Evaluation activities excluded from resist. The final project (documentary) will not be recoverable because its monitoring will be carried out through a seminar/tutoring, where the students will receive support throughout the process of preparing it. For this reason, students who do not pass the final project will have to recover this part with autonomous work.
The student will receive a grade of Not Assessed when he/she does not deliver any of the assessment activities. In the event that the student carries out any type of irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of a certain evaluation act, it will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may derive from it. In the event that several irregularities are verified in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0. In the event that the tasks cannot be done in person,their format will be adapted (without altering their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools.
Homework, activities and participation in class will be done through forums, wikis and / or exercise discussions through platforms such as Teams, etc. The professor will watch over to ensure student access to such resources or will offer other alternatives that are within their reach.
