Previous years

• 2022

•   Educational Common Spaces. Passing through enclosures and reversing inequalities - SMOOTH. PI: Figueras Maz, Mònica SMOOTH looks to introduce the emerging ‘commons’ paradigm as an alternative value and action system in the field of education for children and young people. The project critically draws out the implications of the commons for refiguring education and for social change in general, on a footing of equality, sharing, participation, togetherness, caring and freedom. The project will address social inclusion according to the ‘educational commons’, to gain an insight into whether or not they can operate as a catalyst for reversing inequalities, through a variety of methods such as pedagogical documentation, the pedagogical active listening approach, ethnography and discourse analysis. Project start and end: 2021-2024.  

•   Geografías de las sexualidades y derecho a la ciudad: una perspectiva emocional e interseccional para el caso de la comunidad LGTBI. IP:  Rodó-Zárate, Maria .  This project aims to develop new conceptualizations and methodologies to collect, analyze and visualize inequalities that can contribute to a better understanding of power dynamics and to more inclusive and equal cities.   Project start and end: 2021-2024. 

•  Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue.  IP: Gargarella, Roberto. The project aims to guide policy-makers design policies for competition and regulation, and aid firm managers to devise innovation and sustainability strategies.  Project start and end: 2023-2028.

•    La intersección de religión y género en contextos transculturales. La Península ibérica y el Mediterráneo en la época premoderna. IP: Jones, Linda Gale. This project studies the role of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish religious agents in the interaction and spreading of ideas of religious identity and otherness in medieval and modern Mediterranean societies. It analyzes the role of these agents in negotiating transcultural relations; and it explores how the gender topic influence in these identity and otherness constructions, as well as in transcultural interactions. Project start and end: 2023-2026.

•    La situació de les persones grans amb dependència funcional i les persones cuidadores a Barcelona. IP: Lanau Sanchez, Alba. Project coordinated by Universitat de Barcelona. The aim of this project is to analyze the living conditions and characteristics of people in a situation of functional dependency (SFD) in Barcelona and of the people in charge of care (management and assistance), in order to assess their needs by differentiating their profiles, as well as the different care strategies they develop. Project start and end: 2023-2026.
•   Mapping intersectionality: a conceptual and methodological model for the study of inequalities and discriminations. PI: Rodó-Zárate, Maria.  The INTERMAPS project will allow better understanding how structural inequalities (re)produce and how they affect people’s daily lives in different ways, building bridges between feminist and postcolonial theories, critical geographies and political and social sciences, overcoming the difference between quantitative and qualitative approaches in the social sciences. Project start and end:  2022-2027.

• Microdiachrony in endangered languages across modalities (MICRODIAC(H)RO). PI: Barberà Altimira, Gemma i Quer Villanueva, Jose Francisco.  This project focuses on two endangered languages in different modalities: Catalan Sign Language (LSC, Catalonia) and Griko (Italiot- Greek variety of Salento, Southern Italy). Change in morphosyntactic properties within such languages has received very little attention so far. This project will make a novel contribution to fill this gap in research from a cross-modal perspective on two fronts: (a) exploring how diachronic change in a relatively small time span can be detected, described and accounted for (microdiachrony), and (b) creating research resources in the form of two corpora that include transcribed and annotated data to make the study of grammatical change feasible. Project start and end: 2021-2025.

•  Políticas lingüísticas e inclusión en la universidad internacionalizada: Foco sociolingüístico y educacional para impulsar la equidad, la diversidad y la interculturalidad (INCLU-LINGUAM). IP:  Trenchs Parera, Mireia .  The INCLU-LINGUAM project aims to bring the inclusion and equity dimensions to (1) the growing research on internationalization at universities, and (2) the design of higher education plurilingual language policies.   Project start and end: 2023-2027. 

• Razón pública global: derechos humanos, legitimidad democrática y cambio demográfico (GLOPUR). PI: Moreso Mateos, Josep Joan.  The expected impact is to develop a model of public reason that serves to assess the legitimacy of political decisions and institutions at the international and global level -e.g. the European Court of Human Rights-, at the same time that it serves as a useful criteria for the design of political institutions and decisions at the international and global level .  Project start and end: 2021-2024  

•  REACT. Research-action against Antigypsyism and Anti-Muslim Discrimination: An intersectional approach to deconstruct Institutional Racism in schools. PI: Hellgren, Zenia Agnes Andrea. The REACT project examines subtle forms of exclusion and “native preference”, which can become major barriers for students of minority backgrounds. Specifically, this project focuses on two groups that existing research deems to be among those most affected by educational inequalities and by racism in society in general: Roma and Muslim students. The project applies an intersectional perspective and considers the importance of gender/gender identity and social class for individual experiences of negative prejudices. Project start and end: 2022-2024. 

•   Reforzando los derechos de las personas trabajadoras en riesgo de exclusión social en la economía verde y circular (GreenPoors). IP: Chacartegui Javega, Consuelo.The premise from which we start at GreenPoors is that the transition towards a circular and green economy will involve multiple labour law institutions, especially in relation to the vulnerable groups of workers.  Therefore, the actions that mitigate the risk of social exclusion with respect to vulnerable workers must constitute one of the priorities of the different public and private actions towards a new productive model of circular and green economy with social and democratic foundations. Project start and end: 2023-2026. 

•  Trayectorias de vida de agresores y víctimas de violencia en pareja. PI: Rodríguez Menes, Jorge.  The study proposes to analyze the life-long penal, employment, and health trajectories of perpetrators and victims of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in order to shed light on the overall debate about the gendered nature of IPV. The main expectation is that we will observe a worsening of the differential between men and women in such long-term trajectories due to a patriarchal structure of power in society coalescing into womens cumulative histories of disadvantage.  Project start and end: 2022-2024.

•  (UNIVAC) La accesibilidad sensorial en la universidad española: necesidades actuales y soluciones para el futuro. PI: Arias Badia, Blanca.  The project aims to analyse how universities in Spain respond to the needs of people with sensory disabilities in order to offer an evidence-based diagnosis of the state of affairs in our university system. This diagnosis is a step towards the implementation of appropriate measures to guarantee access to quality education in the context of an increasing digitisation.  Project start and end: 2022-2024.
