Project: "Reimagining the World from the Classroom: A Study on Experiences of Aspiration and Anticipation in a Course on Violence against Women at UNAM's Faculty of Political and Social Sciences (2020-2025)"

---

In 2019, a movement of organized women occupied faculties and high schools of the National Autonomous University of Mexico demanding an end to feminicide violence and the resolution of gender violence complaints accumulated in different entities. In the case of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, one of the demands of the movement was the creation of a mandatory and transversal course about violence against women. As a result of their occupation of the faculty, they were able to design, along with a group of teachers, the content of the course “Violences against women: genealogy, actuality and struggles”. Since its institutional approval in 2020, the course has been taught first as elective and then as mandatory. Currently, all the students of the faculty must approve the course before fifth semester to be able to continue with their studies. Based on the idea that the classroom can become a space of possibility where imagination can be transformed into a tool for freedom, this study looks forward to exploring students’ and teachers’ experiences of aspiration and anticipation in the course.
