General description A materia enfócase nas relacións entre sexo, xénero, e sexualidade. Revisamos elementos dos debates actuais sobre estes conceptos en contornas académicas e profesionais, e exploramos as súas implicacións para o activismo e a acción social. Propoñemos propostas de investigación e/ou intervención en varios contextos socio-educativos, partindo dos intereses e as experiencias do alumnado, sempre construíndo éstas nun marco teórico que permite a súa contextualización e xustificación.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech (Lecture sessions)
Oral presentations by the instructor which establish and relate scientific and disciplinary knowledge essential for the understanding of the subject. The presentation will be complemented by the use of pertinent resources (textual and/or audiovisual).
Directed discussion Sessions will be allocated to the introduction of questions addressed to students to encourage reflective dialogue. This approach is based on the conception of learning as a dialogical process, an act of (re) creation, relating and consolidating reflection and action. The debate will facilitate and promote the sharing and contrasting of informed opinions. With this methodology we aim to: identify difficulties in understanding; inspire divergent thinking; promote a connection with lived experiences; and develop awareness of and critically reconstruct new ways of thinking, feeling and acting. The directed discussion can be developed in person (in the classroom sessions) or virtual (forums).
Document analysis Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual and/or bibliographic documents (segments of documentary reports or films, news, web pages, scientific articles, legislative texts, etc.) relevant to the subject matter, accompanied by activities specifically designed for their analysis.
Supervised projects The final project for the course will consist of an action/research proposal. The justification and the design of the proposal will draw upon the material addressed in the lecture sessions and directed discussions.

Assessment comments

The same tasks will be evaluated for the first and second opportunities.

The participation grade cannot be changed for the second opportunity. This
grade, which reflects the student's course participation, will be saved from
the first opportunity.

For students who are registered in the on-line modality, discussion forums
on the Moodle platform will replace participation in classroom debates. These
as well as the class preparation tasks must be completed by the assigned
deadline to receive full credit in the participation grade.
