Projects in progress
-
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.
- Mapping intersectionality: a conceptual and methodological model for the study of inequalities and discriminations. IP: 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). IP: 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.
- Razón pública global: derechos humanos, legitimidad democrática y cambio demográfico (GLOPUR). IP: 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
Finalised projects
- Extended Reality For DisasteR management And Media PlAnning PI: Wanner, Leo. The project aims to develop a solution that will improve the situational awareness of those user groups based on X-Reality (XR) technologies with the aim of better managing crises and the media coverage of these. Project start and end: 2020-2022.
- Financiación de servicios públicos esenciales, sostenibilidad y territorio PI: Agulló Agüero, Antonia. This project aims to contribute to the analysis of the public services financing system as an essential tool for achieving the right of access to essential services and the right to equal opportunities. Project start and end: 2018-2021.

Inici i fi del projecte: 2016-2020.
