Course presentation:
The course is based on the confluence of the theoretical-conceptual treatment of inequalities from a generational perspective, which allows, from various approaches, to contribute to the problematization and analysis of the topic, as well as to the presentation of experiences that show its expressions in different national and institutional scenarios of socialization of children and young people.
It will be organized into three axes (territories, institutions and ages) distributed in 11 thematic classes, and a final class for evaluating the seminar.
