Course presentation:
This course aims to stimulate the analysis of the socio-economic, cultural, and political situation of children and youth, taking into account the individuals, institutions, and contexts in which the lives of children and young people across the continent become history. The situational analysis is interwoven with reflections on the body, territory, gender, generation, georeferencing, and ethnicity as key elements for addressing social inequalities and the multiple forms of exclusion and violence experienced by this population. Simultaneously, it seeks to identify, map, and characterize practices of resistance and re-existence as liberating ways of being and existing in the world. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the relationship between these situations and public policies, critically examining their relevance and impacts.
