InterHEd

We are glad to share that our collaborator Prof. Dr. Liudvika Leišytė, Deputy Director of the Center for Higher Education at TU Dortmund University, spoke about intersectionality within education in her presentation at New York University. Within InterHEd we seek to: ➡ Create and implement innovative #methodologies that engage faculty and students from diverse social groups to explore the application of #intersectionality. ➡ Generate transferable #interdisciplinary #knowledge on intersectionality in higher #education, including #curricula, #pedagogies and teaching methodologies, assessment and learning environments. ➡ Raise awareness among relevant actors on the importance and potential of applying an intersectional approach to higher education teaching. #InterHed_EU #InterHEdproject #Erasmusplus #euproject #mainstreamingintersectionality

Last Tuesday, Dr. Gloria García-Romeral conducted the first teacher's workshop about intersectionality in higher education at Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya. Teaching staff from different faculties and disciplines, from #Health #Sciences to #Engineering, #Literature and #Pedagogy, among others, participated. This first session aimed to establish the theoretical grounds of #intersectionality and to detect the #needs when applying this approach and methodology within university classrooms. These are some of the discussions we addressed throughout the session: 🔺 There is an urgent need for #strategies to design pedagogical methodologies such as the case study from an intersectional perspective 🔺 Space influences how #methodology is applied to teaching, and thus it can become a limit to the real #needs of #students. 🔺 As #institutional platforms, universities also reproduce social inclusion-exclusionary dynamics. So, whether we want to accept it or not we should be working daily to transform and better them from within 🔺 It is difficult to recognize that our own referents are contextually #biased or that we might lack information about non-hegemonic referents. However difficult this is to recognise, this is also the most productive starting point to reframe our teaching from an #intersectional #perspective If you find it interesting to further delve into this conversations, stay tunned for more information about the project and sign up to our #Newsletter! #InterHed_EU #InterHEdproject #Erasmusplus #intersectionality #interHEd #mainstreamingintersectionality

We are glad to share that we have kicked off the workshops with students from the #Journalism and Audiovisual #Communication BA at Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya! ✏ During these initial sessions, we engaged in a couple of #activities that promoted reflection and teamwork, focusing on intersectionality and self-reflection. The dynamic allowed participants to share personal experiences and debate key issues, such as the #challenges, #inequalities and #positionalities they inhabit in their studies and everyday life. ✏ It has been a very #enriching collective learning space, and we look forward to the upcoming sessions! #InterHed_EU #InterHEdproject #Erasmusplus #intersectionality #interHEd #InterHEdproject #inequalities #inequality #pedagogy #journalism #bachelors #communication #project #euproject #intersectionality #mainstreamingintersectionality

It has been a while since we last posted but throughout September we have been working on the project's next steps. For this academic year 2024-2025, we will be working on: ✏ Implementing #workshops addressing students and teachers on #Intersectionality in #HigherEducation 🤝 Having our Capacity Building Internal #Training in Lyon (July) consisting of internal sharing experiences and training sessions on intersectionality in higher education and its challenges 📚Publishing a #Toolkit with a theoretical framework on intersectionality in higher education and the relevant action lines we propose resulting from our research and workshop experiences Would you like to know more?

We just launched the InterHEd project's Newsletter📰, and we couldn't be happier and prouder! Within the project's #Newsletter you will find: ➡Updated and summarized information on the project's latest developments ➡Presentations and events where we have introduced our project, discussed our objectives and methodologies, and explored potential stakeholders and associated partners ➡Resources we are developing -and how-, as well as academic resources we are using, from research papers to podcasts and web series that deal with inequalities within higher education  Check it out and subscribe from our homepage: https://lnkd.in/eafmz_qh #InterHed_EU #InterHEdproject #Erasmusplus #intersectionality #interHEd #InterHEdproject #inequalities #inequality #pedagogy #presentation #project #euproject #mainstreamingintersectionality

Today, we wrapped up our Transnational Partners Meeting (TPM) at TU Dortmund University! Throughout these TPM #sessions, we have covered the #researching and writing process of the deliverables we are working on -such as the Innovative methodologies and the Good Practices #reports-, to the evaluation framework and our planning for future #publications. In addition, we have delved into the aims and activities of the TU Dortmund Division of #Disability and #Studies (DoBuS). Stay tuned for more information on the project's development and open resources we will be developing! #InterHed_EU #Erasmusplus #intersectionality #interHEd #InterHEdproject #inequalities #inequality #highereducation #pedagogy #teaching #learning #education #project #euproject #highereducationteaching

Our teams have been working on presenting the #project in different settings & countries. At a #congress, in the Global Gallery Award gala hosted by TU Dortmund University, and in #seminars with teachers & sessions with students aiming to co-creating our future #workshops around mainstreaming intersectionality in Higher Education, such as those organized by CEIG UVic-UCC Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya and the Jagiellonian University. All in all, we leave you here some tips that we consider essential to present your project in any of these environments: - First and foremost, build your presentation within time constraints⏱ - Aim for simplicity and consistency: summarize the main objectives, stages and deliverables of your project in clear bullet points so that all audiences might be able to understand them 🖊 - Keep your visuals clean and simple so that they illuminate your point 🖼 - Know your audience so that you don't end up repeating information they know and instead introduce your project enlightening what is innovative about it 📚 - Encourage questions and discussion! It is only by questioning our work and being asked about it that we learn how to improve it! ⁉ #InterHed_EU #InterHEdproject #Erasmusplus #intersectionality #interHEd #InterHEdproject #inequalities #inequality #pedagogy #presentation #project #euproject #mainstreamingintersectionality

Our team from CEIG UVic-UCC Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya (UVic-UCC) presented the #InterHEd_EU #project in a session on #pedagogy of #sociology that explored how to deal with inequalities within teaching & learning environments as part of the XV Spanish Congress of Sociology organized by Federacion Española de Sociologia. 🌈What better way to celebrate #Pride than by remembering that mainstreaming #intersectionality in pedagogy is key to widening our perspectives on in/equalities and #diversity!
