Antonietta De Vita is a researcher of pedagogy, theories of education and social education at the Department of Human Science. Her research work is concerned with three, interlacing areas of study:
1. Learning processes and pedagogy of work;
2. Education towards participation and participatory planning, active global citizenship, and greater awareness of the environment and communal assets in urban contexts;
3. Female thought and gender education: practices for civility in relationships, male violence against women, women’s knowledge and expertise in education.
She began her research activities looking at in-work learning among adult women, and the pedagogies of business ownership, cooperativism and self-management. In recent years, these interests have led her to consider issues of training and work in “different” and “alternative” economies, and in justice- and sustainability-driven movements. Feminist theory and female thought in general have provided a key hermeneutic framework throughout my research, not only in exploring the educational dimension of gender, but also in creating contexts capable of generating participation, activation and empowerment.

Topic | Description | Research area |
---|---|---|
Global active citizenship and partecipation | The global changes we are experiencing alter the meanings and practices of citizenship and participation, requiring spaces of thought to formulate new hypotheses for active participation, cohabitation and visions of the future. The crisis of politics and citizenship in the West shows the end of the traditional democratic forms and the emergence of elements for new configurations. My interest has focused on new citizenship practices starting from the urban contexts in an ecological and ecofeminist perspective. |

Gender education | Education, teaching and formation are fields strongly marked by the female presence, but the language, the symbolic, the knowledge, the organisational and managerial structures seem to reflect still neuter-masculine paradigms. These are based on hierarchizing dualisms embodied in degrees of power (nature/culture, public/private, production/reproduction, rational/emotional, object/subject, normal/abnormal). Urgent becomes to assume a posture of thought and action that takes into account the fact that the world is one but inhabited by women and men, with the variety of their unique human experiences and sexual orientation, and with expectations, desires, capabilities and educational needs that cannot be homologated. |

Pedagogy of work-related learning | The pedagogy of work-related learning considers the nature of contemporary work and employment in terms of training and education, and its implications for the individuals and organisations involved. The transformations we have witnessed in forms of work and the learning processes associated with them can be studied from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective. In my research I am particularly interest in the learning landscape that has emerged in the context of work in “different”, and solidarity- and social justice-based economies, movements that attest to a period of transition from growth-centred economic and production models to more sustainable approaches that are in greater harmony with the living world. |
