Global active citizenship and partecipation |
Antonietta De Vita
|
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 |
Antonietta De Vita
|
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 |
Antonietta De Vita
|
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. |

Recognize educational fragility, to then intervene at school |
Claudio Girelli
|
School fragility is a relevant problem for the school. The causes and the manifestations are many, but they ask to be recognized and faced at various levels to avoid school and educational failure, as well as early school leaving. In this context, research action is necessarily linked with the training of those teachers involved in the research processes, to promote educational and teaching inclusive actions.
