The program focuses its attention in the problematisation of the relationship between youth, equal opportunities and citizenship, following different theoretical contributions, such as those of the processes of social and cultural reproduction; cultural production; the theories of gender, diversity and ethnic relations; and social and educational exclusion. The aim is to understand the diverse ways formal and non-formal educational institutions contribute to the construction of particular identities and to legitimise dominant forms of knowledge. It will equally focus on the ways educational agents negociate or resist those identities, questionning the dominant forms of knowledge. A reflection on broad understandings of citizenship will serve as the structuring axis of the program. A biographical narrative of education pathways will be constructed by students and will be interpreted in the light of perspectives and theories that have already been the focus of Education ociological contributions. Social and cultural reproduction and social inequalities (social class, gender, ethnic origin, etc) will be central to interpret this biographical narrative as well as perceiving education also as a process of cultural production and of opportunities for the expansion of social rights and social justice.
